The Sailaway_top is a summery top that is knitted top-down and features a decorative V-neck. The work begins with the front pieces, knitted separately before being joined. Then the back piece is knitted before the work is joined and continued in the round. The top has decorative stripes that give a classic look, and is finished with feminine crocheted edges.

Size Guide
Recommended negative ease is 3-10 cm. To find the correct size, measure the widest part of your bust and subtract 3-10 cm. Choose the size that is closest to this number. If you prefer a snugger fit, go down a size, and vice versa if you want a more oversized fit. In the picture above, the bust circumference is 93 cm, and she is wearing a size 2, with a negative ease of 8 cm.
