SKILL LEVEL:

Don't worry if you're new to garment knitting. All of my patterns are designed with adventurous beginners in mind. As long as you're comfortable with the knit and purl stitches and have tackled projects like scarves or hats, you have the skills to create this top.

Plus, I've filmed a helpful video tutorial to guide you through each step and boost your confidence!

METHOD:

This top is crafted seamlessly using circular needles, and it’s worked in the round from the top down. It starts at the neckline, progressing into a yoke. We’ll add rows to the Back, working flat between the raglan lines to create a flap that shapes the neckline. The yoke is then divided to create both the body and sleeves, which are finished separately.

YARN:

This top can be made with a variety of yarns. Here's what I used for the samples:

Sample 1 (Brown) was worked in Drops “Belle” yarn (53% Cotton, 33% Viscose, 14% Linen), 8 ply / DK / worsted, 50 g/ 120 m or 1.8 oz/131 yards per skein, color #25, Forest Brown). You will need*: 6-7-7-7-8-8-9-9-10 - 50 grams/1.8 oz skeins for your size. Or 770-815-880-917-982-1048-1113-1179-1244 yards.

Sample 2 (Powder Pink) was worked in Sandnes Garn “Line” yarn (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen) 4ply, 50 g/ 110 m or 1.8 oz/120 yards per skein, color #3511, Powder Rose). You will need*: 7-7-8-8-9-9-10-10-11 - 50 grams/1.8 oz skeins for your size. Or 770-815-880-915-980-1050-1110-1180-1245 yards.

* If you substitute with a not-plant-based yarn, you'll likely need 2-3 more skeins.
Alternatively, I carefully curated a free guide with 22 DK weight yarns you can use for this project (link in the pattern on in the Goodies section).

NEEDLES:

- For neck, cuff, and body ribbing: 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).

- For yoke, body, and sleeves: 4 mm (US 6) circular needles in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).

Alternatively, you can use the Magic Loop technique and work with one needle length of 80-100 cm (31-40 inches).

GAUGE:

20 sts x 29 rows in a 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) piece in stockinette stitch on 4mm (US 6) needles (after blocking).
