Solstice Empire

Solstice Empire is knit in cotton fingering weight yarn for a cool summer top to wear when the temperatures start to soar. With eyelets at the raglan increases, hem and sleeves, along with a loose gauge, this summer top is designed to breathe while letting the breeze in, if you're lucky enough to have a summer breeze.

The pattern is a series of decreases and increases with vertical darts. No short row darts. Designed as a top down raglan, Solstice Empire will leave you free to move your arms without loads of excess fabric bunched up under the arms.

Abiding by CYC standard measurements, the top is #SizeInclusive and designed for 0-2"/5cm of positive ease. However, you might find that you like a forming fit in the bust, and a size down might suit you. Blue sample was knitted at 2"/5cm of negative ease.

Please note: sizes 4X & 5X have not been fully test knit yet. If you are in one of these sizes, and would like to test the pattern, please send me a message.
