Alice Top

The summer top 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, which are knitted separately, back and forth in stockinette stitch. The back is knitted in one piece, while a V-cut is knitted at the front. The recipe also contains instructions for knitting the top from the middle using a temporary cast-on, so that the final length of the top can be adjusted at the very end. Make a knitting test to check your knitting firmness. Wash the knitting swatch, as the recommended yarn will grow in washing and use.

Size guide

The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a chest 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 room for movement of approximately 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 chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has an excess width of 88 cm and in the mentioned example will give a room for movement of 0 cm. The model in the picture wears a size XS and has a chest measurement of 80 cm and is 164 cm tall. The top is therefore worn with a room for movement of 3 cm.
