Sway Halter Top
Sway Halter Top is a versatile, adjustable knitted halter top featuring a textured Cross Stitch front panel and long adjustable straps for a customizable fit.
TWO WAYS TO WEAR • FROM CASUAL DAYS TO EVENING LOOKS
Designed to be styled in two different ways, Sway can easily change with the occasion. Style it casually for an effortless daytime or vacation look, or dress it up with a long skirt or tailored pants for a party, dinner, or evening out.
Pack one piece for your vacation and style it two ways — casual by day, dressed up by night.
The front is worked flat as a square and worn diagonally to create its distinctive diamond-shaped front. Adjustable straps and buttonhole closures allow the fit to be fine-tuned on the body even after knitting is complete. I-cord edging gives the straps a neat, structured finish.
Sizes: XS–S (M–L, XL–2XL)
The adjustable strap construction makes it easy to customize the fit within each size. Strap length and placement can be adjusted to suit your preferred neckline position, back fit, coverage, and overall placement of the front panel.
Gauge: 33 sts and 37 rows = 10 cm / 4 in in Cross Stitch pattern, measured after washing and blocking.
Yarn: Two strands are held together throughout. Approx. 300–400 g / 1,146–1,528 yd total, depending on size and strap length.
The finished XS–S sample weighs approximately 245 g. The sample used 4 full 50 g balls plus more than half of each of 2 additional 50 g balls, with two strands held together throughout.
Needles: 4 mm and 3.5 mm
The pattern includes detailed written instructions, Cross Stitch instructions and chart, sizing and fit guidance, a schematic with measurements, and video tutorial support.
