The Magnolia Top is an elegant and timeless one-shoulder top, knitted in a lightweight blend of bamboo and cotton. The airy yarn provides a soft and breathable quality, making the top perfect for spring and summer.
Process:
The Magnolia Top is knitted from the top down. First, the bust section is worked, followed by the shaping of the armhole and the body. Finally, all ends are woven in.
Size guide:
This top should have a movement allowance of approximately 0-2 cm, depending on your desired fit. Size 3XS (2XS) XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL corresponds to a bust measurement (measured on your body) of approximately 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-105) 105-110 (110-115) 115-120 (120-125) 125-130 cm.
Measure around your bust and left arm before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best based on the bust measurements in the pattern. For example, if your measurement around the fullest part of your bust is 124 cm, you should knit size S, which has a bust circumference of 126 cm, creating a movement allowance of 2 cm.
NOTE: Keep in mind that an elastic thread will be inserted into the top at the end, allowing for adjustments to a larger movement allowance than 0-2 cm. If you are unsure about the size, it is recommended to choose one size up.
