PATTERN | TOP DANDELION WHIFF

The DANDELION WHIFF top is worked from the bottom up in a simple textured pattern reminiscent of a dandelion. The garment is worked in the round up to the armholes, then the front and back sections are continued separately in rows, working decreases for the armholes on each side. The shoulder section is worked in stockinette stitch; the back section ends with sloped shoulders and a straight neckline. The front section is worked somewhat longer, with a shallow neck opening; this shifts the top’s shoulder seams slightly to the back. Finally, the neck opening is finished with a narrow I-cord border.

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows:
(XS; S; M) (L; XL; XXL) (3XL; 4XL; 5XL) = (30; 32; 35) (39; 42; 46) (50; 54; 58)” (= (76; 82; 90) (98; 107; 117) (127; 137; 147) cm) bust circumference (measured on the body).

The top has a normal fit.

Example: if your bust measurement is 35” (90 cm), make the top in size M; it will have a loose, comfortable fit with 2.4” (6 cm) of positive ease.
