Choose your size and yarn quantity
Select by your actual bust measurement, then check the finished garment bust below. The pattern allows approximately 5 cm of positive ease at the listed sizes. Sizes sharing the same yarn quantity are combined in the selector. Each shared kit supplies one project: follow the instructions for your individual pattern size.

The original pattern uses Sesia Jeans 4ply. Duna quantities are substitution estimates calculated from the original metreage and rounded up to whole hanks. Yarn use varies with tension and any changes to length. The photographs show the original yarn; Duna will give a different fabric and finish.
Tension, needles and notions
Tension: 28 stitches and 36 rows to 10 cm in stocking stitch on 3.25 mm needles, or the size needed to achieve tension.
Bring separately: 3 mm and 3.25 mm straight knitting needles, stitch holders, stitch markers, a tapestry needle, scissors and a tape measure. Circular needles may be used to work back and forth if preferred.
Work with one strand of Duna. Make, wash and dry a tension swatch before starting, and check both stitch and row tension. Choose the needle size that gives the pattern tension and a fabric you like.
Care
Hand wash gently in cool water and dry flat, supporting the wet garment. Follow the care instructions on your yarn label.
Frequently asked questions
Is this top knitted flat?
Yes. A sleeveless summer top that combines a stocking-stitch lower body with a garter-stitch upper body and a rolled lower edge. The front and back are knitted flat and seamed, with no picked-up neck or armhole bands.
Is this suitable for a first garment?
This is a confident-beginner project for someone comfortable with knit, purl, basic shaping and simple seams.
Does the kit include the pattern and needles?
The printed pattern is included. Needles and notions are purchased separately.
Why are several sizes shown together?
Those sizes need the same kit contents. Choose the group containing your bust size and follow that size in the pattern; the kit makes one top.
Can I knit this without checking tension?
A washed tension swatch is essential, especially because this kit uses Duna in place of the pattern's original yarn. Check the finished measurements and tension before you begin.
