Knitted top

Вязаный топ — это стильное и универсальное изделие, которое идеально подходит для любого времени года. Он может стать основой вашего гардероба, легко комбинируясь с различными вещами. Преимущества такого вязаного топа заключаются в его легкости и комфорте, а также в возможности самостоятельно варьировать стиль и цвет. Вязаный топ позволяет вам проявить креативность и создать уникальный образ, который будет радовать вас каждый день.

Для вязания этого топа рекомендуется использовать пряжу DROPS BELLE, которая состоит из мягких и приятных к телу волокон. Эта пряжа не только хорошо держит форму, но и обладает отличной воздухопроницаемостью, что делает изделие подходящим для ношения в любую погоду. Для достижения лучшего результата вам потребуется 250-400 г пряжи в зависимости от выбранного размера.

В процессе вязания будут использованы различные техники, которые придадут вашему изделию оригинальный вид. Основная техника — это лицевое вязание (stockinette stitch), которое создает гладкую и ровную поверхность. Также применяются техники убавления (decrease tip) для формирования силуэта, а также различные виды резинки (rib) для отделки краев, которые обеспечивают аккуратный и завершенный вид. Техника "объемного вязания" позволяет добавить интересные текстуры и узоры, что делает топ еще более привлекательным.

Полезный совет: чтобы избежать слишком тугого края при закрытии петель, используйте спицы большего размера. Если же край все равно получается слишком плотным, попробуйте делать накид через каждые 4 петли при закрытии — это поможет сохранить эластичность. Такой подход сделает ваш топ более комфортным в носке и добавит изюминку в его дизайн.

Pattern instructions

EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Choose diagram for your size.

DECREASE TIP (applies to side of body):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker thread as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker thread and knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread is between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked.

BIND-OFF TIP:
To avoid a tight bind-off edge you may use a larger needle size. If this also is too tight, work a 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch while binding off (bind off yarn overs as regular stitches).

-------------------------------------------------------

START THE PIECE HERE:

-------------------------------------------------------

SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work neck edge and yoke in the round from mid back, top down. Now divide yoke for body and sleeves. Body is worked in the round on circular needle, top down. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/short circular needle, top down.

NECK EDGE:
Cast on 100-100-104-108-112-120 stitches on circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5 with Belle. Knit 1 round.
Then work rib = knit 1/purl 1. When rib measures 2-2-3-3-3-3 cm = ¾"-¾"-11/8"-11/8"-11/8"-11/8", switch to circular needle size 4 mm = US 6.
Insert 1 marker at the beginning of round mid back, measure yoke from this marker!

YOKE:
Work A.1 in the round (= 25-25-26-27-28-30 repetitions of 4 stitches).
When A.1 has been worked, there are 200-200-208-216-280-300 stitches on needle. Piece now measures 4-4-4-4-6-6 cm = 1½"-1½"-1½"-1½"-23/8"-23/8" from marker.
Then work A.2 in the round (= 25-25-26-27-28-30 repetitions of 8-8-8-8-10-10 stitches). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When A.2 has been worked, there are 275-300-312-351-392-420 stitches on needle. Piece measures approx. 14-14-14-17-19-19 cm = 5½"-5½"-5½"-6¾"-7½"-7½" from marker (i.e. 16-16-17-20-22-22 cm = 6¼"-6¼"-6¾"-8"-8¾"-8¾" from cast-on edge).
Work in stockinette stitch until piece measures 18-20-21-23-25-27 cm = 7"-8"-8¼"-9"-9¾"-105/8" from marker. Now divide piece for body and sleeves. Work next round as follows:
Knit 38-42-44-50-58-63 (= ½ back piece), slip the next 62-66-68-76-80-84 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), knit 75-84-88-99-116-126 (= front piece), slip the next 62-66-68-76-80-84 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve, cast on 8-8-12-12-12-12 new stitches on needle (= in the side under sleeve), knit the last 38-42-44-50-58-63 stitches (= ½ back piece). Finish body and sleeves separately. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!

BODY:
= 167-184-200-223-256-276 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle of the 8-8-12-12-12-12 new stitches under each sleeve (= in the side of body). There are now 83-92-100-111-128-138 stitches on front piece and 84-92-100-112-128-138 stitches on back piece.
Move the marker threads upwards when working; they are used when decreasing in the sides later.
Work in stockinette stitch in the round.
When piece measures 3 cm = 11/8" from division, decrease 1 stitch on each side of every marker thread - read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2 cm = ¾" 4-4-4-4-5-5 times in total = 151-168-184-207-236-256 stitches.
Work in stockinette stitch in the round until piece measures 15-15-16-16-16-16 cm = 6"-6"-6¼"-6¼"-6¼"-6¼" from division – or desired length (approx. 2 cm = ¾" remain until finished measurements).
Knit 1 round while increasing 23-26-28-31-36-38 stitches evenly = 174-194-212-238-272-294 stitches.
Switch to circular needle size 3 mm = US 2,5. Work rib (knit 1/purl 1) in the round for 2 cm = ¾". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - read BIND-OFF TIP.
Sweater measures approx. 39-41-43-45-47-49 cm = 15¼"-161/8"-17"-17¾"-18½"-19¼" from shoulder and down.

SLEEVES:
Slip the 62-66-68-76-80-84 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles/a short circular needle size 4 mm = US 6, and pick up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-12-12-12-12 new stitches cast on in the side under sleeve = 70-74-80-88-92-96 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch in the round until sleeve measures 12-11-10-8-7-5 cm = 4¾"-43/8"-4"-31/8"-2¾"-2" from division (approx. 5 cm = 2" remain until finished measurements, try the sweater on and work to desired length. Knit 1 round while decreasing 16-16-14-14-14-14 stitches evenly = 54-58-66-74-78-82 stitches.
Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5. Work rib in the round = knit 1/purl 1 for 5 cm = 2". Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl - remember BIND-OFF TIP!
Sleeve measures approx. 17-16-15-13-12-10 cm = 6¾"-6¼"-6"-51/8"-4¾"-4" from division. Work the other sleeve the same way.
