About the design
Aprilla Top is an oversized yet flattering top with mesh texture that is perfect to wear on its own, over a bralette, bikini, or basic tee. I’m sure you can think of an outfit already!

I love when you tag me to share and seeing your finished objects is one of my favourite parts of designing!

The top is knitted top down in the round. First stitches are cast on and increases are worked. Then yoke is worked to achieve the length and separated for body and sleeves while sts for armpit are added.

Sizes
The pattern is designed in sizes: A (B) C (D) E (F) G (H) I , however, it includes instructions for (B) C (D) only, because I could not find testers for other sizes.

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this or any of my patterns in a larger or smaller size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in certain sizes is I couldn’t get test knitters for those sizes and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size that’s not been tested. So if you would like to test(knit this or any other of my patterns in smaller or larger than is currently available drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
