DESCRIPTION
Honeysuckle Top is sweet little summer top worked in half-brioche texture. The i-cord straps flow gracefully into the top’s trim and are secured in cute and functional bows at the shoulders. This top has a small amount of negative ease at the bust/chest paired with optional A-line body shaping. Honeysuckle is knit up in a sport weight plant fiber blend, resulting in a practical handknit for wearing in the warm weather.

SIZING
Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men’s sizing chart. Both fit types are graded to 10 sizes, designed to fit bodies with bust/chest measurements between 30-66” (75-165 cm).

This top is designed to be worn with approximately 2-4” (5-10 cm) of negative ease at the bust/chest. Negative ease means that the circumference of the top is smaller than the body circumference.

See the Pattern Details PDFs linked above to see a full schematic.
