Betty top
Starting from a simple circle, the shoulders are worked with increases around a fixed point first on the right side and then on the left until they are long enough to start the sleeve caps. These are also worked around fixed points and both at the same time by crossing over the back of the piece. The sides of the neck are shaped with the sleeve caps and then
the sleeves and upper body are worked in the round.
The sleeve stitches are then left on spare yarn and the body continues in the round with bobbles on the front and dimples on the back. The sleeve stitches are put back onto the needles and finished off.
Sizes available 31” - 48” bust. The sample is size 38” bust and measures 18.5” from shoulder to hem. The final length is your choice so please factor in more yarn if you choose to make it longer.
Fingering weight yarn with good stitch definition is recommended.
The yarn used in the sample is 100% pure wool from local flocks in Cumbria, north west England.
