Hilma Top
Knitting Pattern for a classic, fitted, sleeveless top with a round neck and an eye-catching pattern of statementstripes in different contrast colours in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL
Structure:
The top is worked in stockinette stitch top down in one piece. First of all, the back part is worked back and forth in rows and with an eye-catching pattern of statement stripes in two different contrast colours. There are worked a bunch of increases to shape the armholes. Afterwards, the back part is finished without any increases. Then, stitches are picked up along the back part and the front panels are worked separately. Additionally, to the increases for the armhole shaping, you will work increases to shape the round neck. Afterwards, the front panels are worked in stockinette stitch and with the same eye-catching pattern of statement stripes (but placed a
little bit offset in comparison to the back part) like the back part has been worked before. Finally, all parts are joined to the round and a double folded knit hem is worked in a different contrast colour. To finish off the top, the same double folded edgings are worked along the armholes and the round neck is finished off with a double folded knit collar as well. But before, you wash and block your top and close the side seams as well as the seam between right and front panel with the mattress stitch. The fit of the summer top is neutral to slightly positive (up to 10 cm). The armholes are relatively fitted and will be even tighter after adding the double folded edgings. The round neck closes relatively high and the wide straps make the top perfect to any bra strap shape you can think off. The eye-catching pattern of statement stripes, which are placed offset from each other, creates an interesting and joyful look making the summer top the perfect companion for every (summer) day!
