CILLA SUN is a simple and feminine top with an elegant lace pattern. The top is worked seamlessly from the top down.
First, the front yoke is worked. Then, stitches are picked up and knitted along the slanted lines of the right and left shoulder, where the increases are worked on the front yoke. Each shoulder is worked separately and then joined to form the back of the neck and the back yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the bottom of the armholes, and the body is worked in the round.
Sizes
Sizes: (1) 2 (3) 4 (5) 6 (7)
Top, chest circumference: (96) 104 (112) 120 (128) 136 (144) cm
Length: (45) 46 (47) 49 (51) 53 (55) cm
The simple construction of CILLA SUN means that the shoulder width of the top corresponds to the chest circumference of the top. The wider the bust circumference, the wider the shoulders. This means that if you choose a size with a larger chest circumference, the shoulders of the top will extend further out than your shoulders, tipping over the shoulder curve and creating a sense that the top has a little sleeve.
In the photos in this pattern you see me wearing three different sizes of CILLA SUN.
Version 1: Size 1. Worn with 13 cm of positive ease.
Version 2: Size 2. Worn with 21 cm of positive ease.
Version 3: Size 4. Worn with 37 cm of positive ease
and the shoulders of the top softly tipping over my own shoulders.
How much positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. It can be a good idea to measure some of your favorite tops to help you choose the perfect size. I recommend choosing a size with 15 - 35 cm of positive ease, depending on which look you prefer.
