Alice Top - PetiteKnit

The Alice Top is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch and the work is then divided into front and back pieces, which are knitted separately back and forth in stockinette stitch. The back is knitted in one piece, while a V-neck is knitted at the front. The description also includes guidance for knitting the top from the center using provisional cast-on, so that the final length of the top can be adjusted at the very end. Make a gauge swatch to check your gauge. Wash the swatch because the recommended yarn will stretch when washed and used.

Size guide 

The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The Alice Top is thus worn with a movement ease of about 0 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 88 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has a chest circumference of 88 cm and will in this example give a movement ease of 0 cm. The model in the picture wears a size XS, has a bust measurement of 80 cm, and is 164 cm tall. The top is thus worn with a movement ease of 3 cm.
