Palma Top

Palma Top is a nice summer top which is knitted in the round, from the bottom up. The body piece has more width at the bottom, and is gradually taken in up to the armhole. After the top is divided in the middle, knit back and forth, the shoulder straps are finally sewn together with a stitch.

Palma Top is designed to have a movement space that is smaller than your own chest measurement, a so-called negative ease. When you have to choose a size, you can use the "indicative chest measurement" section as a reference and find the right size from there. Do you measure e.g. 98 cm around the chest, you should choose to knit a size M to achieve the intended fit.
