Introducing a beautifully designed medieval-inspired top, perfect for knitters looking to create a unique piece that combines style and comfort. This top features a shaped body and elegant 3/4 sleeves, crafted using a simple and engaging slipped stitch pattern. The center front and cuffs boast a classic plain stockinette stitch, adding a timeless appeal to this modern interpretation of medieval fashion.

To craft this eye-catching top, you will need two different colors of yarn: 5 (5, 5, 6, 6) balls of the suggested main color yarn, along with 1 ball of contrasting color yarn. For the largest size, the total amount of yarn used is approximately 450g. Keep in mind that more balls may be necessary to ensure the correct sequencing of colors in your self-striping yarn for a beautiful finish.

This pattern also provides easy-to-follow instructions for substituting yarn-over eyelets in lieu of the 16 metal eyelets (optional) if you prefer a more knitted approach. Additionally, don't forget to gather other essential materials: a darning needle, scrap yarn, 2 stitch holders (optional), and a decorative leather cord or string measuring 160cm (63in) long. Ensure you use the appropriate needle size to achieve the stated gauge for the best results.
