Nelly Top

Nelly Top by WarmLinx

What is Being Made

The Nelly Top is a knitted garment designed by Weiyan of WarmLinx. This is a downloadable knitting pattern suitable for creating a finished top in multiple sizes, ranging from infant (12/18 months) through children's sizes (1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 years). The pattern is designed at an intermediate difficulty level, making it appropriate for knitters with some experience beyond beginner basics.

Yarn and Materials

This pattern calls for DK weight yarn (Weight Category 3), which is a lightweight yarn that creates a delicate, refined fabric suitable for garments. The recommended yarn is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Paints in the colorway Flamingo (9862). Ultra Pima is a high-quality cotton yarn known for its softness and durability. Yardage requirements vary by size: approximately 263 yards (2 skeins) for size 12/18 months, 312 yards (2 skeins) for size 1/2, 363 yards (2 skeins) for size 3/4, and additional yardage for size 5/6. Standard knitting needles appropriate for DK weight yarn are required to complete this project.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

As an intermediate-level knitting pattern, the Nelly Top employs standard knitting construction techniques. While specific stitch details are not fully visible in the provided content, DK weight garment patterns typically utilize fundamental knitting stitches and shaping methods. The intermediate difficulty classification indicates that the pattern includes techniques beyond basic stockinette stitch, likely incorporating elements such as increases and decreases for shaping the garment pieces, and potentially ribbed edgings or other textured stitch patterns for finishing details.
