PURE T is the small successor of PURE.
The partially inserted diagonal lines emphasize the feminine curves without being overbear-ing. You can knit it as a short top with the double diagonal lines, or as a long top with a light A-line. Short or long sleeves can be added as desired. I.e. with one instruction you get 6 different possibilities. ( Top, Tee and Pullover)

PURE T is knitted from the top down in 4:4 Ribbing pattern. Start with the neckline. The neckband is divided into two parts. The back is knitted from the first half and extended row by row using increases.
From the created shoulders then pick up the stitches for the front pieces and join them in the front to form a round. In the front part a pattern is worked in and increases are worked at the end of the armhole.

For the body there are two options:
Option 1 Without increases knitted straight down with re-holding the diagonal lines over the hips. (sample in white)

Option 2 Side increases worked according to the rib pattern. (sample in purple)
