Knitting kit - Aster Silk Top by Sofia Scotford

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here.

Pattern available in English.

Aster Silk Top is a light and refined top, adorned with a delicate textured pattern made using knit and purl stitches. The pattern is knitted from charts, accompanied by written instructions.

The top is knitted from the top down. The yoke is first worked in the round, with increases shaping the shoulders. The work is then separated, and the front and back are knitted separately flat on circular needles. Once the armholes are complete, the front and back are joined and the body is continued in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes to knit a pretty border.

Please note that the pattern placement may vary slightly from size to size, as it has been individually adjusted for each one.

Measure your bust circumference before you begin to choose the size that will suit you best. The finished garment dimensions are shown above.
