The knitting pattern for the Rhubarb Top is designed for a finished size of approximately 55 cm in length and 42 cm in width. However, you can easily adjust the size by using thicker or thinner yarn and larger or smaller needles. The fit can be adjusted using the bows on the side.

Please note that the pattern itself only provides instructions for this specific size. Since I design my patterns with a particular person in mind, they are tailored accordingly — but I still love sharing them with fellow knitters. I hope you enjoy knitting and customizing it!
