vivid top from wieseknit
This feminine summer top has a simple and summery look and can be worn on the hot summer days, or with a T-shirt underneath on the slightly cooler summer days.

The top has elegant recesses at the neckline and is knitted from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. When the armhole and the neckline are created, it is done by various gathering techniques, which are described in detail in the recipe. The straps are knitted like a horse rein/i-cord "cord".

In the recipe you will find links to videos of techniques used.

Always remember to follow the number of stitches indicated for the size you are knitting, subject to the number of stitches shown in the video.

Sizes

Length
Measured from shoulder:
53 (54) 55 (56) 57 cm (indicative - adjust the length yourself by the length of the straps)

The finished work's goals around life:

The sizes fit chest measurements of approx.:
74-87 (82-94) 90-102 (98-110) 108-118 cm

Fit
Measure yourself before you choose which size you want to knit the top in. The knitting tension is 23 m per 10 cm, when the knitting is lying flat, has been washed and blocked. But because cotton can expand enormously in use, the knitting strength also changes when it is in use. The knitting strength can go up to 17 m per 10 cm, where you expand it the most. Therefore, I recommend that you knit it to the small side rather than the large one. For example, if your chest measurement is 92 cm, I would recommend that you choose size S, which fits chest measurements 82-94 and not the size larger. The fit on the top is slim fit, i.e. it is designed to fit close to the body.
