The Top

PATTERN The Top is a feminine top with a slightly fitted silhouette and an elegant asymmetrical button closure at the neckline. The top is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, the neckline is worked flat, after which the work is joined and the yoke is shaped with raglan increases. The body is shaped with slight waist shaping and finished with a decorative edge. Finally, a button band is worked along the neckline. SIZE GUIDE Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to standard European sizes and are designed to fit a bust circumference of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.4) 35.4-37.4 (37.4-39.4) 39.4-43.3 in]. The Top is designed with approximately 1.5-2.5 cm [0.6-1.0 in] of positive ease, based on the bust circumference at the midpoint of each size range.
