Frida Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round with cables and stripes, then divided into front and back, which are finished separately. The armholes are shaped with decreases, and a folded stockinette edge is added. Finally, the straps are knitted in double knitting.

SIZE GUIDE
Frida Top is designed with a negative ease of -20 to -25 cm / -8 to -10 in.

This means that the bust circumference of the top should be 20-25 cm / 8-10 in smaller than your actual bust measurement.

The sizes correspond to S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL, but I always recommend measuring yourself to find the right size according to the intended ease.
