Instructions Palma Top knitting for olive

The Palma Top is worked in the round from the bottom up. The top is wider at the torso and gradually decreases towards the armholes. After splitting the work in the center front, the top is worked flat, and the shoulder straps are seamed using the Kitchener stitch at the end.

The Palma Top is designed with negative ease, meaning it has a smaller circumference than your bust. When choosing your size, refer to the "Bust circumference" measurements on the first page to find your perfect fit. For example, if your bust circumference is 98 cm, you should choose size M for the ideal fit.
