Scallop Knit Halter

A top-down halter-style summer top worked in stockinette stitch. The piece begins with a cast-on at the neckline and is worked flat with gradual edge increases to form the front and back. The work is then joined in the round to complete the body. After knitting, the neckline, armholes, straps, and hem are finished with a delicate crochet scallop edging, adding a soft and feminine touch. Suitable for knitters familiar with basic increases, working flat, and simple crochet techniques. **SIZE** S (M, L) To fit bust: 87 (95, 103) cm **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Finished garment (laid flat, bust width): 39 (43, 47) cm (approx. 78 (86, 94) cm circumference – negative ease) **SUGGESTED YARN** 'KatiaYarn - Linen' (53% cotton, %47 linen; 50 g = 112m) Sample shown in size S used approx 120 g (2 and half balls) Knitted in single strand. **NEEDLES & HOOK** Body: 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles Edges: Crochet hook : 3mm **NOTIONS** Approx. 150 (180, 220) g 3.5 mm needles 3.0 mm crochet hook Stitch markers, tapestry needle Interchangeable circular knitting needles Stitch markers, removable markers Tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape. **GAUGE** 10 x 10 cm = 22 sts x 29 rows in stockinette stitch (3.5 mm needles) **CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW** Front and back are worked flat Increased at edges (after first 2 sts, before last 2 sts) Joined in the round Body worked straight down Finished with crochet scallops
