Clementine Top
Introducing the Clementine Top, a fabulous loose and lacy knitting pattern perfect for Summer! This lightweight layer not only adds a stylish touch but is also ideal for cool evenings, fun days at the beach, or simply as a versatile tee to cover up in style. Whether you’re looking for a cozy addition to your wardrobe or a chic summer look, the Clementine Top has got you covered.
Designed to be suitable for both women and teens, this pullover pattern features a trendy open mesh stitch, flattering batwing (dolman) sleeves, and a comfortable round neck. The banded bottom lends a stylish finish that keeps the top from losing its shape, making it a must-have for your knitting repertoire.
The non-restricting fit of the Clementine Top allows for easy wear across various sizes, ensuring comfort for all. While the pattern is easy to follow, it does require a bit of concentration, making it a rewarding project for those who want to hone their knitting skills.
Available in a range of sizes: XS – M, S – L, M – XL, and L – XXL, this top is designed to fit bust sizes of 30”–36”, 34”–40”, 36”–44”, and 40”–48”. The length varies slightly at 21.5”, 22”, 23”, and 23” respectively, providing a stylishly cropped look.
The Clementine Top can be crafted using a soft cotton or an acrylic blend in sport weight or light DK. You’ll need approximately 800 (850, 950, 1000) yards of yarn, showcased beautifully in Lily Chin Chelsea.
For your knitting project, you will require US 7/4.5mm 28”–40” circular needles and double points, as well as US 5/3.75mm 16” circular needles. Don’t forget 2 stitch holders or some scrap yarn for easy management as you knit!
As for the gauge, it’s essential to achieve 18 sts x 24 rows = 4” in stockinette on the larger needles to ensure the perfect fit. Dive into this exciting project and enjoy creating your very own Clementine Top, ideal for fun summer outings or relaxing at home!
