Juliet Top

"The Juliet summer top is a feminine and playful summer top knitting pattern. Simple eyelets add a lace detail to the sleeves, bottom and neckline. Wear it with a pair of shorts for a cute everyday casual summer outfit. Or add a jeans and open cardigan on chiller days. Made out of LionBrand Coboo, a dreamy cotton bamboo blend, it's a delight against your skin with amazing drape. Thanks to the top-down in the round construction you'll be able to try your top on as you go and won't have to spend much time sewing. /PATTERN DETAILS • Loose flowy summer top • Size XS to 5XL (details below) • Easy level • Worked in the round from the top down • Techniques used / Special stitches: Full explanations are given in the pattern. • Illustrated step-by-step photos /MATERIALS • 4.5 mm/ US 7 circular knitting needles. • LionBrand Coboo (DK weight, 50% cotton, 50% bamboo, 212m /232yd, 100g) in Denim colorway: o XS: 2 skeins o S, M: 3 skeins o L, XL & 2XL: 4 skeins o 3XL & 4XL: 5 skeins o 5XL: 6 skeins • Tapestry needle to weave in the ends • 9 Stitch markers • 2 stitch holders (you can use interchangeable needle cables or pieces of scrap yarn to hold the sleeve stitches while you work on the body) Final garment measurements are: • XS: 76 cm / 30” bust, 55 cm / 21.5” long (from neckline), 34 cm / 13.5” upper arm circumference • S: 86 cm / 34” bust, 58 cm / 23” long, 35 cm / 14” upper arm circumference • M: 99 cm / 39” bust, 70 cm / 27.5” long, 37 cm / 14.5” upper arm circumference • L: 112 cm / 44” bust, 61 cm / 24” long, 39 cm / 15.5” upper arm circumference • XL: 120 cm / 47” bust, 63 cm / 25” long, 43 cm / 17” upper arm circumference • 2XL: 131 cm / 51.5” bust, 64 cm / 25” long, 48 cm / 19” upper arm circumference • 3XL: 141 cm / 55.5” bust, 65 cm / 25.5” long, 52 cm / 20.5” upper arm circumference • 4XL: 150 cm / 59” bust, 67 cm / 26” long, 56 cm / 22” upper arm circumference • 5XL: 166 cm / 65” bust, 70 cm / 27.5” long, 58 cm / 23” upper arm circumference The top is designed with a classic fit 2 – 6 cm / 1” – 2.5” ease at the bust.
