(Important: If the top is planned to be longer/shorter as
shown in the table below, then the necessary amount of yarn
can change.)

DMC Amie. (94% cotton/6% polyamide ; 50g/115m)

My original yarn was in a cone (code 1400550) from shop woolyyarn.com
Stich markers : 4
NEEDLES: Circular needles Nr. 5 - I recommend using cord cable lengths 40 cm and 80/100 cm
KNITTING TENSION:
gauge : 16 stitches x 24 rows (10x10 cm) - after wet blocking (washing, drying on flat surface, shaping)
The sample is knitted in stockinette stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row)
Important! If the gauge doesn’t match to the given one:
1. If there is less than 10 cm in 16 stitches and 24 rows, I recommend to take 0,5 or 1 size larger
needles.
2. If there is more than 10 cm in 16 stitches and 24 rows, I recommend to take 0,5 or 1 size smaller
Level – Beginners friendly to be able to cast on stitches and to knit and purl.
The piece is worked top down with shoulder raglan technique. Positive ease of the top approx. 6-8 cm.
