Alice Top

The Alice Top is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch, and the work is then divided into a front piece and a back, which are knitted separately, back and forth in stockinette stitch. The back is knitted in one piece, while the front is knitted with a V-neckline. The pattern also includes guidance on knitting the top from the middle using provisional cast-on, so that the top's final length can be adjusted at the very end. Make a gauge swatch to check your tension. Wash the gauge swatch because the recommended yarn will stretch during washing and wear.

Size guide 

Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The Alice Top is therefore worn with a movement allowance of approximately 0 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 88 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has a width of 88 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a movement allowance of 0 cm.
