Alice Top - Paper
Alice Top is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round in stocking stitch, and the piece is then divided into front and back pieces, which are knitted separately, back and forth in stocking stitch. The back piece is knitted in one piece, while the V-neck is knitted in the front. The pattern also includes instructions for knitting the top from the middle using temporary casting-on, so that the final length of the top can be adjusted to the very end. Knit a swatch to check your knitting tension. Wash the swatch, as the recommended yarn will stretch with washing and use.
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. Alice Top is therefore worn with a range of motion of approximately 0 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will suit you best. For example, if you measure 88 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A top in size S has a top width of 88 cm and in the above example will give a range of motion of 0 cm. The model in the picture is wearing size XS, has a bust measurement of 80 cm and is 164 cm tall. The top is therefore worn with a range of movement of 3 cm.
