Emily's Top Mini - English

40,00 kr.

Add to Cart

Emily’s Top Mini is knitted from the top and down with an opening at the back for easy dressing over the head. All edges are decorated with a delicate and feminine daisy stitch border, and a ribbon is used to elegantly close the top at the back. The armholes are shaped with a classical raglan construction.

Sizes

0-1 (1-3) 3-6 (6-9) 9-12 (12-18) 18-24 months (3) years

Measurements

Chest width: approx. 41 (43) 47.5 (49.5) 53.5 (56) 58.5 (61) cm [16.25 (17) 18.75 (19.5) 21.25 (22) 23 (24.25) inches]

Length from neck edge mid-­‐front to waist edge: approx. 23 (24) 25.5 (27) 28.5 (30) 33 (35) cm [9 (9.5) 10 (10.5) 11.25 (11.75) 13 (13.75) inches]

Gauge

29 stitches x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] (in stocking stitch on a 3.00 mm [US2½] needle).

Suggested needle size: 3.00 mm [US2½] circular needle (60 cm (24 inches) or 80 cm (31.5 inches)), 3.00 mm [US2½] double-­‐pointed needles for sleeves (sleeves may also be worked using magic loop technique if preferred). Although it is possible to work the daisy stitch on regular needle tips, I do recommend lace needles (i.e. with pointy tips). Make a swatch before you start knitting to ensure that your gauge is correct. Depending on how you knit, you may need to go up or down half a needle size to meet the gauge. Gauge in the suggested yarn is measured after washing and blocking of a swatch.
