    About

    Designing a garment that fits well, looks and feels great and is easy to make is the focus of my creative work. I want to design pieces that I want to include in my own wardrobe. To that end, in the weeks leading up to Spring I dream about warmer days, more daylight and the freedom from winter layers. I want to make (and wear) simple but flattering clothes.

    I'm not as slim as I used to be, but I still want clothes that drape my figure rather than drown it. Simple tops that don't cling or hang tent like from my frame are the order of the day.

    This top was born of that need, it is a simple shape, in a textured stitch for interest and works beautifully in a plain white as well as a tonal stripe.

    I have used an affordable yarn, which brings the total price of making it at less than £20 even for the largest size. Even though it is sleeveless it covers the shoulders and top of your arms in a flattering way.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 5.00mm (US 8) 30cm
    • Single Point 6.00mm (US 10) 30cm

    Measurements

    Notes: Aran weight yarn knitted on 6mm needles grew quickly, fits like a glove (I'm a UK Size 12).

      I love it! I was looking for an airy top with a clean cut for ages, I'm so happy to see this pattern! I will definitely knit myself at least one in the summer!

        Thank you so much! I'll upload a picture of it being worn as soon as it warms up a bit. I'll also be making lots of variations. I was pleasantly surprised by the yarn too, for the price it knits up really well!
