This super comfy new knit top is named after my no nonsense cousin Doerte, she is living her life on her own terms and does not apologize for it.
So this top is a simple knit but id does have attitude. Knitted from the bottom up in the round and flat with ribbed edges including around the neckline. The shoulders are seamed. Knitted with a very cool recycled yarn, cause we have got to cut back and re-use what we can, right? From my experience in working with this yarn, I can tell you that it does not disappoint and in each color you'll find an underlying hue, which is actually quite charming.
This knit is doable for knitters of all skill levels~
For sizes: 32/34/36/38/40/42", 44/46/48 50/52", 54/56/58" with a positive ease of 13.5" to 14.5" worked into each size. You see me wear the size 36" in the photos.
The fit is marvellously oversized for maximum comfort with a positive ease of 16" to 24" respectively and so it can be worn year round. The top's bottom sits just below the hip bone, the short sleeves can be made longer but you may have to add an extra skein of yarn to your order, see link below...
