White Nights Summertop - Knitamore

White Nights Summertop is a nice and summery top with a patterned part at the bottom of the body, then a smooth yoke with a feminine and close-fitting cut.

The top is knitted in the round from the bottom up, first in lace pattern and then in stockinette stitch over the chest. The back is then closed off and a top piece is knitted for each breast back and forth, which ends in a strap with a hole pattern.

The strap is knitted so that it goes all the way to the back, where it is first knitted together with the back piece and then sewn on for better durability and appearance. It is recommended to try the top on along the way, so that you achieve the right length on both body and chest piece.

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL

The goal of the top: Overall dimension: approx. 66 (73) 80 (87) 94 (101) 108 cm. Length: approx. 54 (54) 58 (59) 63 (64) 64 cm measured from the bottom edge of the rib to the top of the stop.

Size guide: White Nights Summertop has a negative room for movement (ease) in relation to chest measurement. A negative room for movement means that the model is knitted to smaller measurements than the body has and will therefore stretch to fit the body. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to chest measurements of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. Measure yourself and estimate your size before you start knitting the top. If you want a more loose-fitting top, you can go up a size.

Knit strength: 21 stitches x 30 rows in stockinette stitch on needles 3.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm.
