Sparkling cowl neck top 304
Discover the perfect close-fitting garment for your next event with our stylish party top knitting pattern! Designed to fit snugly, this pattern encourages you to choose a size that closely matches your actual bust measurement for the best fit. The top is not only chic but also super fun to knit, making it an ideal addition to your wardrobe.
Crafted with versatility in mind, this fashionable party top can be made using any light worsted yarn for the back and bottom front. For that extra sparkle and flair, we recommend selecting a draping, sparkly metallic yarn for the cowl. The contrast between the "plain" worsted weight yarn and the glittery DK weight yarn will elevate your look, making it perfect for parties and special occasions!
Yarn Amounts: You will need the following yarn quantities: Main Color (MC) – 375 (475, 575, 675, 760, 840) m / 410 (520, 629, 738, 831, 919) yd of worsted weight yarn.

Be sure to pick colors that complement each other for a truly striking effect!
Tension Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, ensure your tension gauge is accurate: 18 stitches and 26 rows = 10 cm / 4" over Stockinette stitch using 5mm needles with the MC (aim for a loose tension). For the CC, you will need 18 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm / 4" over Stockinette stitch using 5.5mm needles. Following this gauge will help ensure that your finished garment looks fantastic and fits perfectly.
