ABOUT THE DARLING TOP
The Darling Top is a colorwork tank top with a slightly square neckline. It’s knitted from the top down, knitting the straps flat then joining everything in the round. Lastly, this top is finished with I-cord edging for the armholes and neckline for a simple, polished look.

The Darling Top is designed to have 6 to 10 cm 2.5 to 4 inches of negative ease. To determine your size, measure your bust, subtract the amount of negative ease you prefer, and use the chart below to find the size that best matches that circumference. The length of the pattern is measured from the top of your shoulder. If you decide to change the length of the pattern, keep in mind that the yarn quantity required will also change.
