Construction
The Riyu top is worked in flat knitting, from bottom to top. You will start by knitting the front in 1x2 rib stitch with 4 mm needles. You will separate the work in two to knit the right side and its strap, then the left side and its strap. The straps are worked with 3 mm needles in 1x1 rib stitch. The back is worked in 1x2 rib stitch. To finish, you will sew the straps to the back, and assemble the sides of the top with an invisible seam.

Techniques
Cast on - knit and purl - increase - decrease - cast-off - seam

Shape and sizes
Sizes S (M - L - XL) are suited for an approximate bust circumference of 80/85 (85/95 - 95/100 - 100/110) cm. Make sure to take your measurements to choose the size that will fit you best. For this design, you can choose a size with a negative ease (a smaller circumference than your bust size). The top will then be very adjusted.
