BICOLORTOP

The Bicolortop is a simple top that is knitted with two colors using the intarsia technique. It is worked seamlessly top down and has Icord edges at the neck & armholes. The special feature is the diagonal color change, with well-hidden decreases to shape the waist. If you’d rather have a loose-fitting top, simply don’t work the corresponding decreases and work the two stitches in the color they appear instead. The hem is also worked with an Icord edge, it is recommended to use a larger needle for this.

Size guide:
The top should be knitted with a negative ease of 3 - 6 cm to get a nice fit. The size is determined by the bust circumference, which is approximately
80 - 84 cm (85 - 88 cm) 91 - 94 cm (96 - 99 cm) 102 - 105 cm (107 - 110 cm) 113 - 116 cm (118 - 121 cm) 123 - 126 cm (128 - 131 cm) 134 - 137 cm (139 - 142 cm).
If you are exactly between two sizes, it is up to you to decide if you would rather have a more shaped (= the smaller size) or a more loose-fitting (= the larger size) top.
