Filucia Top

Filucia top is a simple and relatively tight-fitting top, with many details and techniques. The top is knitted from the top down. First, the neck is knitted in the round on circular needles 2.5 mm in regular rib. Then, bind off stitches and the body is knitted back and forth in twisted rib, while making increases along the way down to under the chest. A double-knit edge will be knitted on each side. After all the increases, cast on sts for the back and knit the body in the round. The body is finished with a regular rib edge.

Make a test stitch to check the knitting tension before you start.

TIP: If you are on the fence between two sizes, I would recommend choosing the small size, as the elastic will give a little with use. At the same time, it is important that it is not too big, so that it slides down your back.

The pattern will be sent as a PDF file to your email after purchase.
