Top Construction

The top is worked top-down, seamlessly, starting from the neckline in the round, then continued in flat rows for the back and front separately, and finally joined again for circular knitting. The armholes are finished with 21 rib.

The length of the top is customizable — from a crop top to a full-length dress, depending on your preference.

If your gauge is slightly off, feel free to choose the closest size.

Materials Needed:
• Yarn – original or substitute. The yarn should provide stability and hold its shape well.
• Best options: corded linen, cotton/linen blends, cotton, nettle yarn in the range of 180–250 m per 100 g, provided the gauge matches.
• Circular needles: 3.0 / 3.5 mm (40 cm) and 4 / 4.5 mm (60–80 cm).
• Stitch markers

Gauge of the main pattern:
18 sts × 22 rows = 10 × 10 cm

Pattern repeat:
3 stitches × 4 rows

Approximate yarn consumption for sizes XS–XXL:
170–330 grams or 400–700 meters, depending on the chosen yarn and size.

✨ It is recommended to add a companion thread (e.g., lurex, sequins, beads).

When choosing yarn, focus more on the meterage rather than the weight.
