Therefor, I will need testers.

Crossedsummertop is a straight shaped top with side slits. It can be knitted either in a cropped or normal length. With its double knitted straps, which are fixed on the shoulder, it’s a special summer piece, perfect to complete your wardrobe.
Another nice detail is the crossing of the two middle straps,
which the top is named after.

All techniques are explained in the pattern.

Laguage: english, german

Level: suitable for beginners

Size:
(XXS) XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL)
(80) 85 (90) 95 (100) 105 (110) cm

This top is not made to be worn oversized. The final measurements relate on your bust circumference and there shouldn’t be any positive ease to make sure it fits in the back. The sizes are matching with a bust circumference of (80-84) 85-89 (90-94) 95-99 (100-104) 105-109 (110-114) cm.
If your bust circumference measures 93cm, I would still recommend to choose size S though this size ‘only’ measures 90cm.
