Notes

Test knitting this for MrsLoops.

4 pattern repeats after under arm join.

Pre-blocked measurements:

  • Top of straps to bottom of ribbing at waist = 14.5”/37cm

  • Across chest (arm pit to arm pit) = 11”/28cm

  • Across body (middle of sweater) = 13”/33.5cm

  • Under arm to bottom of ribbing at waist = 10”/25cm

After blocking:

  • Top of straps to bottom of ribbing at waist = 16”/41cm

  • Across body (middle of sweater) = 12.5”/31.5cm

  • Under arm to bottom of ribbing at waist = 11.5”/30cm


Done! Phew…that was the toughest test knit I’ve ever done. Once all the kinks were worked out, the pattern went fast. It really is a quick knit and the result is so cute. I love this top! Not only is it quick and cute, but it really does fit well. It’s not too low at the neck (front or back) and it fits really well under the arms, as well. I also love that this little top would be so cute over a long sleeve tee making it more versatile year round. I will definitely make this again! It’s truly seamless. My Only regret is that I used a US8 instead of a US 7…it’s a little looser than I would have liked. This top has a lot of stretch so I think it would fit a 6-8 year old.
