Shades of Grey Summer Top
Unlock your creativity with this stunning leaf pattern top, perfect for knitters seeking a beautiful and fashionable piece. This top is expertly knitted from the bottom up, allowing for an engaging knitting experience as you work flat and in the round. Each component - the front, back, and sleeves - is knitted separately, providing a chance to hone your skills before expertly sewing them together for a polished finish.
The highlight of this design is the delightful i-cord bind off, adding a refined touch to the overall appearance of the top. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a determined beginner, this pattern is designed to guide you through each step with ease.
Materials you'll need include circular knitting needles sized 4mm for the main body of the top. Additionally, smaller short circular needles, sized 2.75mm, are required solely for creating the i-cord edges along the armholes and neckline. This carefully planned combination of needle sizes ensures optimal results and a beautifully finished garment.
The gauge for this project is: 20 stitches and 37 rows in stockinette stitch using 4mm needles. While the gauge specifically for the leaf pattern is not stated, the overall dimensions and pattern repeats have been thoughtfully accounted for, helping you achieve the desired fit and style with accuracy.
Embrace the joy of knitting as you create this unique leaf pattern top, a versatile addition to your wardrobe that pairs well with any outfit. Don’t miss out on this chance to create a show-stopping piece that showcases your knitting skills. Enjoy your knitting journey and happy crafting! x
