KNITTING PATTERN // ZOE Top in English/German The ZOE top is a short-cut, tight-fitting top with a sporty 'racerback' and comes into its own in combination with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The top is worked top-down and can therefore be individually adjusted in length and worn as a bustier, crop top or very classic - without showing your belly. The front and back pieces are worked flat, in RS and WS rows, up to the end of the armholes, first the back piece, then the front piece. The body is worked in the round, then the neckline and armholes are edged with an I-cord. The top sits close to the body, but because of the rib pattern, unworn and unstretched, it appears narrower than the specified bust size. Techniques used: Left- and right leaning increases for knit- and purl stitches, tubular bind off-method, I-Cord-bind off. All techniques used are explained in the instructions. / Level: Advanced / Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) To fit bust circumference: 71-76 (81-86) 91-97 (102-107) 112-117 (122-127) cm 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) inches The ribbed pattern makes the top narrower when unworn and not stretched.
