INFORMATION

A classic tube top worked in stockinette stitch. Provisional Cast On technique is used for casting on, and both edges (top and bottom) are finished with an I-cord. An elastic thread can be added to the top edge to ensure the top stays up.

The tops in the pictures are knitted in Bomulin in colors number 13 and 62.

Find the right size:
If you have a bust measurement of, for example, 93 cm, subtract 6 cm = 87 cm, which corresponds to size S or M. Size S will give a negative ease of 9 cm, and M gives 4 cm. If you want a different ease than the sizes indicate, you can add/subtract stitches: 2.1 stitches = 1 cm.

The model in the picture has a bust measurement of 83 cm (with 4 cm negative ease on the top compared to the bust measurement) and is wearing size XS.
