Key Largo Top
Introducing the perfect addition to your knitting wardrobe: the Suzette Sleeveless Top, a beautiful companion to the Key Largo Cardigan designed for those who love versatile twin sets. This stylish sleeveless top features elegant garter edges and charming lace detail that runs gracefully down the front, making it a delight to wear for any occasion. Named after my dear friend Suzette, who inspired my passion for knitting and resides in the sunny Key Largo, this pattern is a tribute to friendship and creativity.
The Suzette Sleeveless Top comes in a variety of finished sizes, ensuring a great fit for everyone: Chest measurements are available in 33[37, 41, 45, 49, 53] inches, with a length of 13[13.5, 14, 14, 14.5, 14.5] inches from cast on to underarm. You'll enjoy the tailored look that enhances your silhouette while keeping you comfortable.
For this pattern, we recommend using Mrs. Crosby Loves To Play Steamer Trunk Worsted yarn, a luxurious blend with 100% Superwash merino wool, offering a soft touch and warmth (164 yards per 100-gram skein). You'll need 3[3, 3, 4, 5, 5] skeins to complete your project. This high-quality yarn not only feels great but also comes in beautiful colors that will make your Suzette Sleeveless Top stand out.
You'll need a US #7/4.5mm circular needle, preferably 32 inches or longer, though larger sizes may benefit from using a longer needle for ease of crafting. Alternatively, you may choose a needle size that suits your gauge preference. Don’t forget your essential knitting notions, including stitch markers, waste yarn or stitch holders, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends.
To help you achieve the perfect fit, our gauge is 16 stitches and 22 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch. This is essential for ensuring your finished top matches the intended size and drape.
Whether you're creating this lovely top for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Suzette Sleeveless Top is sure to become a cherished item in your handcrafted collection. Get ready to enhance your knitting skills while making a piece that embodies the spirit of friendship and creativity!
