This design was inspired on my friend Livi, from where it gets its name. The “ripped stitches” are made to contrast and break the classic concept of the raglan “perfect” top. The Livi top is meant to be cute and traditional “ripping” away with the norms of the perfect construction, breaking away the classic, to leave space for this grungy classic crop top

Top is knitted on the round, with seamless, raglan sleeve divisions. Sleeves are then worked on the round. The ribbing is worked on smaller needles: 2.75mm / US2, 8” round or DPN’s for sleeves and US4/ 3.5mm for body. You can choose between short or long sleeves. Body of the top can be cropped or regular length. The Livi top is knitted using a drop stitch giving it a ripped look.

The Top is offered on sizes XS to 5XL. It has 0 to 1” positive ease. You can chose the length and sleeve of your preference. Model is wearing size XS with 1” of positive ease, cropped length, short sleeves. Sizes are written as follows XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL 5XL) using a colour coded theme to make it easier to follow.
