Candice Top
Pattern updated in 2023
CANDICE is a cropped loose sleeveless top perfect for summer. Its oversize shape allows to easily fit any body type without too much effort in sizing. The combination of silk and linen offers a shiny and rustic feel. Mostly knitted in basic stockinette and slipped stitches, the lower back is shaped using short rows, and hem line is finished with a stylish ruffle.
Skill Level: Intermediate.
Size: Finished Bust Size 35 ¼, (38 ¾ , 42 ¼ , 49 ¼ , 52 ¾ )” to fit bust 32 (36, 40, 44, 48)”.
2-5” positive ease recommended.
Shown in finished bust size 38 ¾.
Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked flat, top down, starting with the shoulders that are later joined to continue in one piece from the underarms. Lower back is shaped using short rows, and hem line is finished with a ruffle.
For a better finishing, I recommend to start with a provisional CO for the straps, that can then be used to seam the edges or pick up the sts to continue with the other (front or back) strap and in any case readjust the length of the straps if needed.
