Noemie Top English

The Noemie top is a simple summer top worked top-down. This is a 2 in 1 pattern with instructions for a fingering weight and a DK weight version.

First, stitches are cast on in the round to shape the neckline with German short rows and increases. The back and front pieces are then worked separately with armhole increases. The pieces are then joined together and worked in the round. The sleeves are knit in the round and the neckline is finished with an I-cord bind off.

The recommended ease for the fingering Noemie top is between 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches of positive ease. The measurements are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) 150-160 cm / 29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43½) 43½-47½ (47½-51½) 51½-55 (55-59) 59-63 inches. If your bust circumference is 90 cm (35½ inches), you should knit a size S with a finished bust circumference of 94 cm (37½) inches.
