CORNELIA STREET TOP
In my household vibrant pastel colours go by the term ‘Taylor Swift colours’ (due to a video she once made). And her songs play on repeat every day; especially Cornelia Street. So what better way to pay tribute to an excellent songwriter than to name this colourful top after Cornelia Street by Taylor Swift.

Cornelia Street Top is an oversized top knit in the round from bottom and up. It’s knit as stockinette (for the major part) and is decorated with a symmetric lace pattern and fine moss st details on the top part and has a moss st edge.

The pattern comes in seven different sizes to fit all body types. The pattern is a relatively easy if you are familiar with wrap and turn and lace sts.

I hope, you’ll enjoy the #corneliastreettop as much as I have enjoyed designing it!

Happy knitting!

Materials needed

I have used two bases for this top; Skinny Singles and Kidsilk lace from Hedgehog Fibres. You can easily choose other bases, even a cooler cotton version, as long as you keep the gauge of 20 sts / 27 rows per 10 x 10 cm.

I have used between 200 and 400 g of Skinny Singles depending on the size. And between 100 g and 200 g Kidsilk lace.
