The Sadie Top is a soft veil worked seamlessly top down in stockinette stitch. Starting with an elegant boat neck, the design uses a saddle shoulder construction to follow the natural curve of the shoulders. The roomy sleeves and cropped body are adorned with non rolling edges.

Sizes: XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)

Bust Circumference: The garment measures 100 (106, 111.5, 116) (123, 133, 146, 156) cm or 39 ½ (41 ½, 43 ¾, 45 ½) (48 ½, 52 ¼ , 57 ¼, 61 ¼) inches to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90, 90-95, 95-100) (100-110, 110-120, 120-130, 130-140) cm or 30.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5, 35.5-37.5, 37.5-39.5) (39.5-43.25, 43.25-47.25, 47.25- 51.25, 51.25-55) inches.

The Sadie Top is designed to have 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) of positive ease, meaning that the finished garment is going to be 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) larger in circumference than your bust.

The sample is knitted in a size S to fit a bust circumference of 86 cm (34 inches). The resulting positive ease is 20 cm (8 inches).

You can refer to the testers’ versions on the last few pages to see how the top looks knitted in different sizes.
