{"product_id":"cumulus-top-petite-knit-patterns","title":"Cumulus Top | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cumulus Top is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, four triangles are worked to shape front and back with a V-neck, which are then joined on the circular needle to form the body. The body is worked straight in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a folded hem. At the end, i-cord edges are worked along the top edges. These i-cord edges are continued into the straps, which are sewn together with Kitchener stitch at the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches]. This means that the Cumulus Top is designed to have approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] of negative ease (meaning the top should be 6 cm [2¼ inches] smaller than your bust circumference). Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 89 cm [35 inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 84 cm [33 inches] which in the given example would give you 5 cm [2 inches] of negative ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference: \u003c\/strong\u003e80 (84) 89 (94) 103 (112) 124 cm [31½ (33) 35 (37) 40½ (44) 48¾ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length: \u003c\/strong\u003e50 (52) 54 (56) 58 (59) 61 cm [19¾ (20½) 21¼ (22) 22¾ (23¼) 24 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 3 mm [US2½] needles \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles: \u003c\/strong\u003eCircular needles: 3 mm [US2½] \/ 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches] and 2.5 mm [US1½] \/ 60 and 80 cm [24 and 32 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100 (100-150) 150 (150) 200 (200) 250 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e4ply\/ fingering weight yarn (approx. 50 g = 220 m [241 yds]) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57229924860235,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1608.png?v=1778076644","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/cumulus-top-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
