My friends said they couldn’t find a fine-gauge, wardrobe staple, slim-fitting top. So I designed one. Meet the Knitty Committee Top - for elevating your everyday wear with neat details, cute edgings, and three sleeve options for every mood. It’s worked at a fine gauge for a luxurious feel, but knits up surprisingly quickly!

DETAILS
The pattern is written for two different lengths and includes waist shaping and optional bust darts. Instructions for modifying for different torso lengths and waist sizes are provided.

Two increase options are included: ‘feature’ increases (pink sample) and ‘simple’ increases (red & green samples).

Two edging options are included: ‘detailed’ rib (pink & red samples) and ‘simple 2x2’ (green sample).
