Top “Chloe” is a strapped version of “Chloe” the pullover with V-shaped cut and slightly cropped bottom, but now it’s made of thinner yarns and has 6 sizes calculated and tested.

The top is made in top-to-down turning rows (not horizontal side-by-side rows/rounds as we’re used to) and consists of separate panels: the front and the back, which are sewn together once finished, then edging and straps are completed.

Top “Chloe” is provided in 2 sections in 1 purchase: this is both a line-by-line pattern, which is convenient to use if you obtain gauge; and an algorithm (recipe) for making the top using your own gauge and calculations.
34 pages with charts, written instructions (for each line), photos and videos.
Though the pattern is very detailed, the item is completed in thin yarn and there’s a lot of counting in the process, so this pattern is not for beginners.

Difficulty level: 4 of 5 stars (Advanced).

My gauge is: 29 stitches and 22 rows is 10 cm
Completed in tbl hdc (US) or tbl htr (UK)
