Pipari means gingerbread in Finnish. In Finland, the traditional gingerbread cookie shape resembles a flower, so the wavy edge has become known as a gingerbread edge. The Pipari Top is knitted top down. First, the front and back pieces are worked separately, forming two hourglass‑shaped sections. These are then joined onto the same needle, after which the body is knitted in one piece.

YARN

NEEDLES
4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle with 80–120 cm (32–47”) cable, depending on the size of the top, and two 3 mm (US 2.5) double‑pointed needles for the straps.

Pipari on kevyt ja kepeä neuletoppi, jonka helmaa koristaa Pipari- ja Piparina -huiveista tuttu pitsi. Toppi neulotaan ylhäältä alas siten, että ensin neulotaan topin etu- ja takakappaleet yksitellen, minkä jälkeen ne yhdistetään helmaksi. Toppi on malliltaan melko yksinkertainen ja sopii myös, sinulle, joka et olisi ennen toppeja neulonut!
