Chill Top

**CHILL TOP** is a stylish and feminine top featuring clean lines and an elegant V-neck. It is knitted in Sandnes Line or Svarta Fårets Cecilia – two wonderful summer yarns containing cotton, viscose, and linen. For a subtle and beautiful shimmer, the yarn can be combined with Rico Design Make It Blümchen. The top is worked from the bottom up on circular needles. The work is divided at the armholes, and the front and back are then worked separately. The front is shaped with a decorative cable running along the V-neck, and the armholes are finished with an elegant I-cord edging. CHILL TOP is designed with neutral ease, creating a comfortable fit that follows the body without feeling tight. When knitted together with Make It Blümchen, the top gains a delicate shimmer that makes it equally suitable for everyday wear with jeans or dressed up with a skirt. **Skill Level:** Intermediate This pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable working on circular needles, shaping with decreases, knitting cables, and finishing edges with I-cord. The instructions are clear, and the project is both enjoyable and varied. **Sizes:** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) **Body Measurements:** Bust Circumference 32.25 (34.75) 37 (39.25) 43.25 (47.25) inches/ 82 (88) 94 (100) 110 (120) cm The top is designed with neutral ease.
