Mercedes Top
This top is knit top down in a seamless construction. It is designed as an everyday basic & layering piece. It features a contrasting stitch detail along the trim to elevate the look. This pattern provides a step-by-step guide to make your own top, it features 6 sizes.
SIZES (XS, S, M)(L, XL, XXL)
The sizes correspond with a bust circumference of (80-85, 85-90, 90-95)(95-100, 100-110, 110-120) cm or approx. (31.5-33.5, 33.5-35.5, 35.5-37.5)(37.5-39.5, 39.5-43.5, 43.5-47.25) inches.
MEASUREMENTS
Garment bust circumference (68, 71, 78)(83, 90, 100) cm / approx. (26.25, 28, 30.75)(32.5, 35.5, 39.25) inches.
Garment length measured from underarm (33, 33, 33)(33, 36, 36) cm / approx. (13, 13, 13)(13, 14, 14) inches.
The top has a negative ease of approx. 12-16 cm / 4.75-6.25 inches. The soft yarn creates a stretchy yet form fitting fabric, you should choose a size that is 12-16 cm / 4.75-6.25 inches smaller than your bust circumference depending on your fit preference.

28 sts x 36 rows = 10x10 cm / 4x4 inches in stockinette stitch.

3mm circular needles in 60-100 cm length for the body.
2.5mm circular needles 40-60 cm length for the trim.

Tapestry needle, stitch wire/ scrap yarn, needle and matching thread, stitch markers.
YARN
The sample is knit in 50% wool, 50% alpaca fingering weight yarn.
You will need (125, 150, 150)(175, 200, 200) g of yarn
You will also need approx. 3-5 metres of contrasting yarn.
The top is knit in fingering weight yarn. I recommend picking an animal fibre yarn, as this creates a warm stretchy fabric.
