Elisessommertopp strikkes først fra ermene og opp, foran og bak, i et dekorativt mønster, før delene settes sammen i skuldrene. Deretter plukkes det opp masker, og bolen strikkes nedover til hel lengde.
Toppen kan strikkes i flere typer garn. Strikkes den i merinoull så er den varm og god, og kan brukes med en langermet topp under om vinteren. I et blandingsgarn eller bomullsgarn så blir den luftig og god på varme sommerdager. Det kan være en fordel for mønsteret sin del, at toppen strikkes i et litt elastisk garn, men dette er ikke et must.

Information in English:
The top is worked in the pattern stitch from under the sleeves and up on the front piece, and then from under the sleeves and up on the back piece. Next, the two pieces are worked together at the shoulders before stitches are picked up along the lower edge, and worked in stockinette stitch in the round until full length.
The top is on the short side, so if the recipient is tall or you want the top a bit longer, then add a few cm before finishing. Remember that you may need more yarn if you make it longer.

Happy knitting:)
