ArielTop

Difficulty level: 1⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Description of difficulty levels

1⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 1⭐️ are suitable for beginners, there are help videos and no difficult techniques.

 

2⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 2⭐️ are suitable for the slightly experienced knitter who still doesn't want difficult techniques but a project with a bit more detail.

 

3-, 4- and 5⭐️ out of 5⭐️

I don't yet have patterns that complicated or full of difficult techniques if these levels apply. They are simply there so that the knitter can put the degrees of difficulty into perspective.

Needles

Circular needle size 4.5 mm (60, 80 or 100 cm) and/or double pointed needle size 4.5 (for tube cord)

Knitting tension

Two threads on needle size 4.5: 10 x 10 cm = 17 sts x 25 r

XS (S) M (L) XL

Chest circumference (widest place, measured on own body): 80-84 (85-90) 91-95 (96-100) 101-110 cm

Armpit to armpit over the chest, measured on own body: 40-42 (42-45) 45-48 (48-50) 50-55 cm

Ease

Ease (negative): 5-10 cm, ie. 5-10 cm is drawn from your measurements on your own body, after which you choose the circumference below that fits these measurements.

Remember that the cups should only cover the chest area, which is why these measurements are small. So, if, for example, you measure 45 cm above the chest (from armpit to armpit), a size small would be appropriate in relation to the measurements of the cups and the ease.

Measurements of work

The measurements of the cups themselves: 37 (39) 42 (45) 48 cm

The circumference of the top with the back piece (ie just below the chest): 65 (68) 72 (75) 79 cm

You should choose the smaller size if you are standing between two, as it can also expand a bit during use.

My ArielTop in the picture above is knitted in a size small, and my measurements are 90 cm around the chest and 76 cm around the waist.

Note: You can possibly follow a certain size in the chest piece and then follow another to the body piece, if your measurements do not fit these

The yarn spending is approx. 105 (120) 150 (160) 170 g of cotton yarn (Infinity Hearts Rose 8/4 (50 g = 176 m)), ie. around 4 balls of yarn (since it is knitted in double thread), but you can make do with 3 balls of yarn with specific sizes.

Hand wash of approx. 30 degrees with wool soap, leave to soak for 5-10 min.
Lay the project flat on a towel and preferably with underfloor heating until it is completely dry. It is also a good idea to read the yarn type's washing instructions and then assess how best to wash your project.

Remember that your project will take its final shape after being washed, as the stitches are allowed to become more uniform. At the same time, you also wash the excess color out of the material that your project is knitted in. You can always read more about it online or search for videos that can help you with the process.
