Knitting Kit - Cloud Top by PetiteKnit

Knitting kit - Cloud Top by Petiteknit

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

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Cloud Top is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth, with short rows to shape the shoulders. Then, each shoulder is worked separately, still flat and with short rows. The two shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back are joined under the armholes to form the body, which is worked in the round on circular needles. Stitches are picked up along the neckline and armholes, then a stockinette stitch border is knitted.

Knit a swatch before starting the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge.
