DESCRIPTION
The Iris Top is a fitted crop top featuring bold ribbing and neat finishing details. Negative ease and waist shaping give this garment a body-hugging fit. Knit up in a fingering weight yarn, this is a great piece for adding to your handknit collection for the warm season. Worked in a bright color this design can be a playful statement piece or in a neutral color it can be a perfect staple piece in your me-made wardrobe.
SIZING
This pattern is graded to 10 sizes, designed to fit bodies with bust measurements between 30-66” (75-165 cm). All sizes include 20% negative ease in the finished garment. The 3x3 ribbing pattern is extremely stretchy, and this results in a comfortably fitted garment. Two sizes of bust darts are included, as well as instructions on how to figure out if you need bust darts for your body. See Pattern Details for detailed fit information and a full schematic.
SAMPLE
