Tilly Top by Annie Haas
What is Being Made
Tilly is a beginner-friendly knitted top designed by Annie Haas. This garment is a simple, wearable piece constructed in the round from the top down, making it an excellent project for knitters new to garment construction. The top is designed to be worn with 10 to 20 inches of positive ease, offering a comfortable, relaxed fit suitable for various body types and styling preferences.
Knitting Techniques Used
The Tilly top employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for beginner-level crafters. The garment is knit in the round using circular needles, which eliminates the need for seaming and creates a seamless, professional finish. The construction begins at the yoke and works downward, a method that allows for easy customization of length and fit. Live stitches are held on waste yarn or spare needles during sleeve construction, a standard technique for managing multiple sections of a garment simultaneously.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure for Tilly is stockinette stitch, the most fundamental and versatile stitch in knitting. Stockinette stitch creates the smooth, classic fabric that forms the body and sleeves of this top. This stitch choice makes the pattern ideal for beginners while producing a refined, polished appearance suitable for everyday wear.
