Sea Turtle Top

**About the Top** The sea turtle top is an office-appropriate top that can also be worn in the office thanks to the well-fitting armholes and the not-too-deep V-neckline. The special highlight here is the lace pattern on the back of the top. The lace pattern creates little turtles, hence the name of the top. The top is worked from the top down so that you can adjust the length to your body. First, the back is knitted in rows with the lace pattern. Then the left and right sides of the front are worked separately. We start again with the lace pattern before switching to stockinette stitch to hide the bra straps. The V-neckline is worked at the same time. After the armholes, the piece is closed in the round and knitted in stockinette to the desired length before finishing with a simple ribbed band. **Sizes available** The top is worn with 2-10 cm of negative ease. The cm measurements given below are the ones of the finished top (bust circumference): * 2XS (64 cm) * XS (72 cm) * S (78 cm) * M (86 cm) * L (94 cm) * XL(103 cm) * 2XL (109 cm) * 3XL (115 cm) **Yarn** Sport weight yarn - the sample is made of BC Garn Summer in Kashmir - for size L I used approx. 230 g of it. Based on my size I estimate the following yarn usage: (150g, 200g, 200g), [250g, 250g, 300g], {300g, 350g}. Please keep in mind that these are estimations. **Notions** 2 stitch markers, 1 beginning of round marker, cables/cord or leftover yarn to hold your stitches, 3.00 mm needles, 2.5 mm needles, tapestry needle. **Gauge** 27 stitches, 40 rows/round to obtain 10x10 cm.
