Ida was my maternal grandmother, who liked to wear bold colours, and preferably in untraditional combinations of colour. My grandmother was a traditionalist, but was up for changing details.

Ida is top for summer in bold colours, which at first glance looks very traditional. Looking more closely, you’ll notice that the stripes of the yoke aren’t flat, but have texture, almost like mini bubbles.

Ida is worked in RE·NIM, which is a comfortable cotton yarn, made from old jeans.

The pattern comes in 4 sizes:

sizes S (M) L (XL)
chest 96 (100) 104 (112) cm (38’’ (40’’) 42’’ (45’’)) (body measurements)

Take time to save time, and make a swatch before starting the project. Every knitter knits at his/her own gauge.

Ida var min mormor, som gerne gik i stærke farver, og gerne i utraditionelle farvekombinationer. Mormor var traditionalist, men var også med på at ændre på detaljerne.

Ida er en sommertop i stærke farver, hvis konstruktion umiddelbart er traditionel. Ser man nærmere efter, opdager man, at striberne i bærestykket ikke er flade men har struktur, lidt som små bobler.

Ida er strikket i RE·NIM, som er et behageligt bomuldsgarn, der er lavet af gamle cowboybukser.

Opskriften er skrevet til 4 størrelser:

bryst: 96 (100) 104 (112) cm (kropsmål)

Husk at lave en strikkeprøve før du går i gang. Alle strikkere har sin egen strikkefasthed.
