Knitting Pattern for a cropped and fitted summer top with thin straps in double knitting, V neck shaping of back and front parts and embroidered flowers on the front part in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL.

Structure:
The camisole is knitted bottom up in rounds and in one piece without sewing. The back and front parts are worked back and forth in rows to shape the V neck at the back, front as well as the armholes.
First of all, the total number of stitches is casted on. Knit for several centimetres in stockinette stitch in rounds, until the V neck at the back part is shaped with a bunch of decreases. After a few more centimeters, the armholes are shaped too and after that, the V-neck at the front part is shaped. The front parts are then finished with small straps in double knitting, which are sewn to the back part. In the end, multiple flowers are embroidered onto the front part to finish the romantic summer top.
The fit of the camisole is close to the body, that’s why it is designed with a little amount of negative ease. The length is cropped to make it perfect to wear with high waisted summer pants, jeans and skirts.
