**CURRENTLY IN TESTING** **Apply to test the Noelle Top!: https://www.yarnpond.com/pattern_tests/5966** *be sure to follow @handmadebymariquita on IG for testing details, release dates, and early discount codes!* This pattern was designed in honor of my sister, Noelle, when I freehanded this closet staple for her several years ago as a gift. It has since become an adored piece in our wardrobes, and can now be one in yours, too! Perfect for beginners, the Noelle Top features a seamless top-down raglan design with modified short rows created by casting on new stitches at the beginning of each row to shape the back, avoiding traditional German Short-Rows. The Noelle Top is designed to be worn with approx. 7-12 cm / 2¾–4¾ in of positive ease. Choose a size based on your actual bust circumference, measured at the fullest part of the bust. If you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a more or less relaxed fit and choose accordingly.
