Cinque Terre top – Knitting pattern
CHF 7.00
Cinque Terre is summer infused in a top – a well-fitting top half thanks to the bust dart shaping meets a pleated bottom half adorned with sprinkles of color!
Worked from the bottom up, you start Cinque Terre by knitting up the pleats flat which get formed when you pick up the stitches for the top part. The top is worked in the round up to the armholes which are then shaped separately, knit flat. To keep the stockinette fabric from curling, the edges of the bottom, armholes and neckline are worked in garter stitch.
