The Parkside Peplum Top is a fun summer knit with a classic look and the perfect amount of flare. It’s knit from the top down in the round so you can easily adjust length as you go. An i-cord edge at the top is added at the end with simple i-cord straps.

Size Guide + Finished Measurements
The tank is written in 10 sizes, 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10), with a finished bust size of 23.5 (26, 28.5, 31, 33.5, 36, 38.5, 41.5, 44, 46.5) in/60 (66.5, 72.5, 79, 85.5, 92, 98.5, 105, 111, 117.5) cm. The top is intended to have about 4-6 in/10-15cm negative ease across the bust so pick a size that will provide the intended ease or adjust to your desired ease. Note that the negative ease helps to keep the top up around the bust. Feel free to adjust body length as desired. Please note that if you would like to make a bust circumference in between the listed sizes, please feel free to add or subtract stitches at the cast on. The pattern is very easily adjusted for different cast on stitches.
