Cumulus Top

Kumulus Top is a cute summer top that is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First knit four triangles. which are then assembled on a round stick to form the body. The body is knitted straight down in stockinette stitch and finished with a garter stitch. Finally, knit i-cord edges along the edges at the top of the top. These are continued in the straps. which is sewn together with a 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 Kumulus Top is thus worn with a range of movement of approximately -6 cm. Measure yourself. before you start knitting. to assess which size. that will suit you best. For example, if you measure 89 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body). should you knit a size S. A top in size S has an excess width of 84 cm and in the mentioned example will give a room for movement ( negative ease ) of -5 cm. If you are between two sizes. then choose the smallest size.

The model in the picture wears a size XS and has a chest measurement of 82 cm and is 164 cm tall. The top is therefore worn with a room for movement of -2 cm.
