Cloud Top

The Cloud Top is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, the slope of the shoulders being formed with circular needles. Then the shoulders are knitted separately back and forth, also with circular needles. These are joined at the front to form the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. Along the neck opening and armholes, stitches are picked up and a stocking stitch edge is knitted.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right knitting tension.

Size guide

The Cloud Top should have a positive ease of approximately 2-5 cm. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished top are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has a width of 92 cm and in the example mentioned will provide a positive ease of movement of 2 cm.
