Audrey Top - Paper
Audrey 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 with decreases in each side. The straps are knitted as an i-cord.
Knit a swatch to check your knitting tension. Wash the swatch, as the recommended yarn will grow 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. The Audrey Top is therefore worn with a range of movement (positive ease) of 0-5 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will suit you best. For example, if you measure 89 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A top in size S has a bust width of 90 cm, and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 1 cm. The model in the picture is wearing size XXS, has a bust measurement of 78 cm and is 164 cm tall. The top is therefore worn with a range of movement of 2 cm.
