Cloud Top - PetiteKnit

It pairs perfectly with two strands of Pure Silk or Cotton Merino. Here we have chosen Pure Silk.

The Cloud Top is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, with short rows to create a shoulder slope. Then the shoulder sections are knitted separately back and forth, also using short rows. The parts are then joined at the front and knitting continues on the front piece. The front and back pieces are then joined to shape the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle. Stitches are picked up along the neckline and armholes, and a stockinette edge is knitted.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Cloud Top should have a positive ease of about 2-5 cm. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, taken on the body, of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished top measurements are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S top has a finished bust width of 92 cm and in this example will provide a positive ease of 2 cm.
