Cloud Top is a light and elegant knitting pattern with a timeless, minimalist look. Worked seamlessly from the top down, it features a relaxed fit. The simple construction and clean lines make it an enjoyable project, while the finished top is both comfortable and effortlessly stylish.
The top is worked top down using a delicate 100% silk yarn (Knitting for Olive Pure Silk). The yarn has a beautiful matte finish, and the natural coolness of silk makes this top especially comfortable even on the hottest days—it feels soft and luxurious against the skin.
If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, you can also knit the tee using Sandnes Garn Tynn Line, a cotton-linen-viscose blend that drapes beautifully and offers a breezy summer feel.
The Cloud Top is designed to have approx. 2-5 cm [¾-2 inches] of positive ease. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished top is listed on the front page of the pattern.
Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 92 cm [36¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 2 cm [¾ inches] of positive ease.

The Cloud Top is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked flat back and forth while short rows hare worked to shape the shoulders. Then, each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth and with short rows. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. Along the neck and armhole stitches are picked up and knitted and a stockinette stitch edge is worked.
Knit a swatch before beginning the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge
GAUGE
20 sts x 27 rows in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm [US6] = 10 x 10 cm
NEEDLES

PATTERN TYPE
Intermediate
The patterns in this category require that you have experience with and feel confident in using the basic knitting techniques, as the patterns contain more advanced techniques for example for casting on, picking up and knitting stitches or working short rows.
You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time – for example you may need to work a charted pattern while working shaping at the same time.
