Roselyn Top 2604-08 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Roselyn Top is a feminine summer top knitted from the top down using two strands of Sandnes Garn Tynn Line held together. Worked in stocking stitch with a gently flared A-line shape, it is finished with delicate crocheted scallop edging around the neckline, armholes and hem.

The top begins with the left and right sides of the back worked separately, with increases shaping the neckline before the two sections are joined and worked to the bottom of the armholes. The front is constructed in the same way, with a deeper neckline. Front and back are then joined and the body is worked in the round, with increases creating the A-line silhouette.

A crocheted scallop edging finishes the neckline, armholes and lower edge. You can work a single round of scallops at the hem for a subtle finish, or add five rounds of scallop edging at the lower section for a more decorative effect.

The model is 185 cm tall and wears a size M.
