Shell top
CONSTRUCTION 
The Top is knitted from the bottom up in rounds starting with 3x3 ribbing. If working with only Trio 2, the Top is knitted back and forth in rows. 
For the two breast sections, more and more stitches are increased and worked in stockinette until half the chest circumference is reached. After that, each breast section is 
finished individually. The Back is worked entirely in 3x3 ribbing pattern. Finally, the shoulder straps are knitted to the desired length and then sewn to the Back using mattress stitch.
SIZES 
1 (2) 3 (4)
MATERIALS 
150 (150, 200, 250) g Isager Trio 2 
50 (100, 100, 150) g Isager Alpaca 1 
Use one strand of each yarn held together. The Top can also be 
knitted using 2 strands of Trio 2 held together. In this case, it is 
advisable to knit the front and back separately and sew them 
together along the sides. The reason for this is that if Trio is knitted alone or in the round, it has a tendency to “twist” or bias. The Top will be a little bit smaller if Alpaca 1 is omitted.
