The Cypress Top
Pattern Notes:
This garment is made top-down in the round with a lot of positive ease for the size. Elastic is sewed in the inside of the bandeau top which creates a cinched look. The sizing is very customizable, and there is an option for adding sleeves to the bandeau version. The sleeves are made separately and seamed to the body. The neckline is worked in the round from picked-up stitches.
Sizing:
If your bust measurement lies between the given measurements, then go with the size indicated. The garment has about 7.5-12.5 cm (3-5 inch) of positive ease built into it. It is advisable to size up if you are are on the cusp of 2 sizes as elastic cinches the garment to your body circumference. The larger the garment, the more ruffles and cinching the finished garment will have.
XS - 71-79 cm (28-31 inches)
S - 81-85 cm (32-34 inches)
M - 89-94 cm (35-38 inches)
L - 99-106 cm (39-42 inches)
XL - 109-114 cm (42-45 inches)
2XL - 116-124 cm (46-49 inches)
Note: Size 3XL and up has not been tested by test knitters. If you are interested in testing size 3XL and up, please reach out to me at renewalcollective1@gmail.com to receive a free copy of the pattern to test this size!
Yarn:
Sport or DK weight yarn that achieves the gauge needed for the project.
The yarn amount includes the yarn needed for sleeves/neckline! If you plan on making the body longer you may require additional yarn.
XXS- 375 meters
XS- 400 meters
S- 425 meters
M- 450 meters
L- 475 meters
XL- 550 meters
2XL- 600 meters
Other Materials:
Scissors, darning needle, stitch markers, a measuring tape, and 10-20 meters of elastic thread/ flat elastic. (If you choose to hold elastic double or triple, then I would recommend having more elastic on hand)
Elastic recommendations from testers:
Dritz elastic thread 0.5 mm (held double or triple)
Gutermann elastic thread (held double or triple)
Bingcute 1.00 mm white beading elastic cord (held double)
Any 3-5 mm elastic (not held double)
