June Top

This knitting pattern is in Swedish and is sold as an A4 printout.

The June Top is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch, and the work is then divided into front and back pieces, which are knitted separately, back and forth in stockinette stitch. The pattern also includes guidance for knitting the top from the middle using a temporary cast-on, so that the top's final length can be adjusted at the very end. The June Top is designed so that the neckline is deeper at the back ? but only just enough to still cover a bra. A narrow i-cord edge is knitted along all edges.

Size guide

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The June Top is therefore worn with a range of motion of approximately -5 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 89 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 84 cm and will, in the above example, provide a range of motion (negative ease) of -5 cm.
