Alice Top Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit
A clean, fitted summer top with a flattering V-neck and broad shoulder straps. Alice Top is worked mainly in stocking stitch and can be knitted in a light multi-strand combination or with Sandnes Garn Line held double.
The body is worked from the bottom up in the round to the armholes, then divided for the front and back. The back is worked in one piece, while the front is divided to shape the V-neckline. The pattern also includes an optional provisional cast-on method, allowing the final body length to be adjusted after the upper section is complete.
Alice Top is designed to be worn with approximately 0 cm ease for a close-fitting silhouette. Measure around the fullest part of the body and choose the corresponding size below.
