Cumulus Top - Paper
Cumulus Top is knitted from the top down in stocking stitch. First, four triangles are knitted and then joined on a circular needle to form the body. The body is knitted straight down in stocking stitch and finished with a folded edge. Finally, i-cord edges are knitted along the edges at the top of the top. These are continued in the straps which are sewn together with a stitch stitch.
Size guide
The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a chest measurement of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The Cumulus Top is therefore worn with a range of movement of approximately -6 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will suit you best. For example, if you measure 89 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A top in size S has a width of 84 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (negative ease) of -5 cm. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size.
The model in the picture is wearing size XS, has a chest measurement of 82 cm and is 164 cm tall. The top is therefore worn with a range of movement of -2 cm.
