The top is knitted first from the bottom up, then the ruffle is knitted from the top down. The top has i-cord straps and can be worn over a t-shirt or long-sleeved blouse, or in the summer as a top on its own.
The gauge is 14 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 6 mm needles.
The top comes in sizes XS/S (M/L) XL (XXL) approx. 85 (90) 95 (100) cm in upper circumference along the edge and will fit a bust measurement of approx. 70-85 (85-95 cm) 95-110 cm (110-120 cm). The top is wide in size as it has a slight A-line shape, but does not need ease as it should fit snugly over the bust.
