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

Choosing size: The Sille Top should have approximately -10 cm of negative ease compared to your bust measurement. Measure yourself before starting to determine which size will fit best. For example, if your bust (or widest part of your body) measures 80 cm, you should knit size S. A size S has a bust circumference of 70 cm, which in this example gives -10 cm of negative ease.
