Tide Top
The #TideTop is worked top down: first you work the left side starting from the strap, then the right side starting from the strap, and at last you connect everything in the round after adding stitches for the back.
A bust shaping option can be chosen to make the pattern better fitted for different body shapes.
You can tie your top behind your neck or you can knit two little holes in the back to tie your straps there.
Different edging techiques are described in the pattern, making it coistumizable: rolled edge, purled edge and non-rolling edges.

SIZING & YARN ESTIMATION
In the pattern you can find 11 finished garment sizes: to choose your size, measure your bust and subtract 10 to 15 cm to have a negative ease. The less stretchy is your yarn, the smaller the negative ease you should choose. There is a bust shaping option you should follow if you have a difference of 15cm (or more) between your bust and under bust circumference.
