Garment description:

The 6-in-1 Top is a romantic and feminine figure-hugging top that will quickly become a staple in your closet. The versatility of this pattern allows you to achieve six different looks. The top in itself is reversible, so you have two different necklines – a low square neck and a high neck. Then, you can choose between three different sleeve options. Leave it as a tank top or work the cap sleeves to turn it into a baby tee. If the weather is getting chillier, complete the sleeves to make them full length – the best part is, you don’t have to rip out your work if you’ve started out with the cap sleeves, as they both start out the same way! The top is knitted top down, which allows you to customize the length to your own body.

Sizing:

This pattern has been written and tested for 15 sizes. Measure yourself at the widest part of your bust and choose your size accordingly, see photo 5 for each size’s bust circumference. If you are between sizes, I recommend you size up!

The garment has approx. 18-22 cm/7-8.5 in of negative ease.

Sizes P-R (143-157 cm/56-62 in) were written but not tested. They are included in the pattern as I believe they are correctly graded after the feedback on the other tested sizes. If you are unsure and would like to knit these sizes, please reach out to me.
