Emmy Top Adult / Petite Knit Pattern

The Emmy Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and the work is then divided into the front and back yoke which are worked separately, back and forth in stockinette stitch with decreases along both sides. At the top of the front, the outermost stitches are folded to the back, and straps are worked in double knitting. The straps are grafted onto the back with Kitchener stitch.

Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Make sure to wash your swatch before taking the gauge measurements, as the recommended yarns might grow with wash and wear. Note that the size of the top will stretch by a couple of cm an inch or so with wear after wash and blocking – keep this in mind when choosing which size to knit.
