Notes

Finished Measurement:

  • Bust: 26.7” (68 cm)
  • Sleeve Length measured from Underarm: 4.33” (11 cm)
  • Waist: 23.62” (60 cm)
  • Shoulder to Underarm: 7.87” (20 cm)
  • Neckline to Hem: 11.81” (30 cm)

Model is 5”2 (160cm) with bust size of 29.2’ (74cm) - wearing the Daphne Top knitted in size 1.

I also used every last bit of my 2 balls of yarn. Playing that dangerous game.


Feedback:

  • Very cute and romantic design.
  • The ribbing in the back is a great detail to provide negative ease just enough to hug my body.
  • I change to smaller needles (2.5 mm) to knit the inside of the hem - to make sure it doesn’t flare out with time and I’m happy with the results.
  • I also shorten the straps. I try on the top as I made the straps to make sure they are just long enough to stay on my shoulders. I recommend trying the top on when you knit these straps.
  • I have narrow shoulders so the sleeves occasionally fall off my shoulders - which is CUTE! - but not the look I’m going for. I’m considering knitting an i-cord and just sew it across the back to connect the 2 sleeves and keep them on my shoulders. Just a thought - not sure if I’ll actually do it.

Overall a beginner friendly design and I definitely recommend to confident beginners.
