Sille Top is knitted from the top down. First, the front piece is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch with increases on each side. Then stitches are cast on for the back piece. The body is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch, and finally, the straps are worked as an i-cord.

Choosing a size:
Sille Top is designed with a positive ease of 0–5 cm. Measure yourself before you begin knitting to determine which size will suit you best. For example, if your bust (or the widest part of your torso) measures 69 cm, you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 70 cm, which in this example would provide a positive ease of 1 cm.
