ABOUT THE DESIGN:

MY DOTLINE TOP is a feminine summer top with a boat neck and small pretty bubbles looking like pearls on a piece of string – hence the name DOTLINE. The top has a body conscious fit and fits well around the armholes.

MY DOTLINE TOP is worked from the top down. First the front yoke is worked back and forth with Dotline stripes and increases at the armholes. Then stitches are knitted up from the cast-on, and the back is worked to match the front. The body is joined under the armholes where new stitches are added, and then the body is worked in the round and finished with a folded hem. The armholes are finished with attached I-cords.

SIZES:
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL)
The sizes are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm

MEASUREMENTS:
The top is designed with a body conscious fit and negative ease varying from 2 to -10 cm. That means that the circumference of the top itself is smaller than your body measurement. The top in the picture is worn with -8 cm of negative ease.

How to choose a size: Measure your circumference at the bust and choose a size based on that number. If your bust measures, for example, 93 cm (falls in the range of measurements for size M), you should knit a size M, even though the circumference of the top is smaller than your bust measurement. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down to preserve the body conscious fit.
