The airy addition to the series: The Selestine Top combines modern cables with a slim silhouette and fluid drape. Thanks to the clear, seamless top-down construction, it is the ideal project for advanced beginners. Sophisticated I-cord edgings at the neckline and armholes provide a high-quality, clean finish. A minimalist essential that perfectly combines textile sophistication and summery lightness.

Sizes

2XS (XS; S; M; L) (XL; 2XL; 3XL; 4XL) 5XL

Corresponding EU sizes:

30-32 (34; 36-38; 38-40; 40-42) (44-46; 46-48; 48-50; 50-52) 52-54

To fit a bust circumference of:

76-80 (81-84, 85-89, 90-95; 96-103) (104-111, 112-119, 120-127; 128-135) 136-143 cm

30–31 (32–33; 33–35; 35–37; 38–41) (41–44; 44–47; 47–50; 50–53) 54–56 in

Finished chest circumference of the top:

80 (86; 89; 93; 102) (108; 116; 124, 133) 142 cm
[31.5 (33.9; 35; 36.6; 40.2) (42.5; 45.7; 48.8, 52.4) 55.9 in]

Choosing the right size:

The Selestine Top was designed with a positive ease at the chest of approx. 0 to 4 cm [0 to 1.6 in].

Example: If you have a chest circumference of 92 cm [36.2 in], then choose size M. This is because 94 cm [37 in] (92 cm [36.2 in] + 2 cm [0.8 in] = 94 cm [37 in]) comes closest to a size M with 93 cm [36.6 in].

Gauge

27 sts / 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in pattern after washing and blocking on 3.00 mm [US 2.5] needles.

Important:
For a well-fitting top, the gauge must be met exactly. Choose the needle size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge.
