Top Gold – Knitted Version
What Is Being Made
The Top Gold is a knitted women's top worked in Adriafil Gold yarn in gold shade no. 60. It is a fitted top with shaping at the sides and decorative star embellishments sewn onto the front and back necklines, giving the garment its signature golden stars detail.
Techniques Used
- Flat knitting – the back and front pieces are worked separately and seamed
- Side shaping – decreasing 1 stitch at each side every 8 rows, repeated 3 times, to create a fitted silhouette
- Seaming – pieces are joined using a tapestry needle
- Embellishment – decorative star motifs are created separately and sewn onto the neckline ends of both the front and back
Stitches Used
- Stocking stitch (stock stitch) – the primary stitch pattern used throughout the body of the top
Materials

Gauge
The stated gauge is 13 stitches and 18 rows to 10 x 10 cm worked in stocking stitch on no. 6½ needles. Achieving the correct gauge is important for ensuring the top fits accurately across the four available sizes.
Construction Notes
The back is cast on with 48 (52-56-60) stitches on no. 6½ needles and worked in stocking stitch with gradual side decreases to shape the waist. The construction follows a classic flat-knit approach, with the front worked in a similar manner. Star embellishments are made separately and attached at the neckline, adding a decorative focal point to the finished garment.
