The CÉCILE Top is an airy light summer top in a wide rib pattern, which not only makes a good figure "solo", but also comes out very nice in combination with blouses and blazers ... for everyone who likes it a bit more "attracted".
The top is knitted from top to bottom and can thus be individually adjusted in length. The front and back parts are knitted in rows until the end of the arm cutouts, first the back part, then the front part is added directly. For the body, work is carried out in rounds in the 10/10 or 12/12 rib pattern. The top sits close to the body, but due to the rib pattern unworn and unextended somewhat narrower than the specified upper width. With a size of 1.76 m and a breast circumference of 88 cm, I wear the top here in size S.
Techniques used: Provisional mesh stop, left and right incline increases for right and left stitches.
The instructions are very detailed, as the sizes are partly listed individually. A little tip for handling: Simply mark all the details of the corresponding size and, if necessary, print only the relevant pages in order not to lose the overview.

The top sits close to the body through the rib pattern, so no room for movement is included. For example, if you have a chest circumference of 92 cm, you should knit size M.
