Luella Top

Introducing the Luella Top—a stunning knit designed to be worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. This versatile knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for creating your ideal top with a variety of sleeve options: choose from cap sleeves (as featured in elegant black), trendy 3/4 sleeves (shown in the main image), or classic long sleeves. This flexibility makes the Luella Top not only a perfect addition to your wardrobe but also a fantastic value for your knitting collection that you'll return to time and again.

The unique lace yoke pattern is presented in both a clear, easy-to-read chart and a detailed written format, guiding you round-by-round for an enjoyable knitting experience. After you’ve crafted the intricate yoke, the remainder of the top consists of simple, stress-free stocking stitch—ideal for those cozy TV nights or while you're relaxing on holiday.

This top is specifically designed to be worn with 2 inches of negative ease. However, if you prefer no ease or a more relaxed fit, simply select a larger size to achieve your desired look. This adaptability ensures that the Luella Top can fit comfortably into any fashion preference.

For the best results, the gauge is 24 stitches and 32 rounds in the Lace Yoke Pattern while using 3.25mm needles, and 28 stitches and 36 rounds in stocking stitch, also with 3.25mm needles. You can create this beautiful garment using a variety of yarn weights including fingering weight, 4 ply, or even a delicate lace weight yarn that best suits your style.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Luella Top pattern is your go-to choice for a delightful and stylish knitting project that celebrates versatility and elegance.
