Cotton Candy Top

7,50 

The Cotton candy sleeveless top is a very simple yet stylish V-neck top that fits in every essential wardrobe and is a basic pattern, that, thanks to its simplicity, is especially suitable for beginners. It is knit from the bottom up in the round, with regular decreases all the way up until the armhole to create an A-Line shaping.

From that point on, the front and back are worked separately, and, in a second step, each shoulder is worked separately. The fit is rather large around the waist, with a 10 cm / 4“ ease around the hip circumference. You can choose to knit it with one single colour, with three shades of a colour like shown in the model above, or combining three completely different colours, it’s all up to you!
