{"product_id":"serena-top","title":"Serena Top Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stitch holds a special place in my memories. My mother and my aunt taught me how to crochet when I was very young, long before knitting became such an important part of my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a child, I spent countless hours watching them work on small crochet projects. I especially remember the little jackets and shawls they decorated with this same simple and delicate edging. Every time I use this stitch, those sweet memories come back to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I began designing Serena Top, I knew I wanted to include a small crochet detail. Not because the garment needed it, but because it reminded me of where my journey with yarn began. I chose this crochet detail because it gives the top a more personal and feminine character. When I thought about the feeling I wanted the design to have, this was the stitch that immediately came to mind. It is practical and easy to work, yet it has a softness and delicacy that reminds me of a small flower resting along the edges of the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes markdown core_item_content__text_block core_item_content__text_block--notes\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Serena Top is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the back is cast on, short rows are worked to shape shoulders, and back is worked to underarms. Fronts are picked up from back and the shoulders and neckline are shaped. The front and back are then joined and the body is worked in the round. Increasing at the sides and short-row shaping on the lower back give the top a more relaxed fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYARN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandnes Garn Tynn Line (Light Fingering Weight; 53% Cotton, 33% Viscose \u0026amp; 14% Linen; 220m \/ 241 yds per 50g)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS I Z E S\u003cbr\u003eXXS (XS, S, M, L) (XL, 2X, 3X, 4X).\u003cbr\u003eTo be worn with approx 0 - 2” \/ 0 - 5 cm positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISHED MEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust Circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e30½ (32, 34¼, 38½, 42¼) (46½, 50¼, 54½, 58¼)”\u003cbr\u003e77 (81.5, 86.5, 97.5, 107) (118, 127.5, 138, 147.5) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length from Centre Back Neck to Centre Front Hem:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e20 (21, 21½, 22½, 23) (23½, 24, 24½, 25)”\u003cbr\u003e51 (53.5, 54.5, 57, 58.5) (59.5, 61, 62.5, 63.5) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmhole Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6½ (7, 7¼, 7¾, 8¼) (8½, 9, 9½, 9¾)”\u003cbr\u003e16.5 (17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 21) (21.5, 23, 24, 25) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Neck Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 (9¼, 9½, 9¾, 10¼) (10½, 10¾, 11, 11¼)”\u003cbr\u003e23 (23.5, 24.5, 25, 25.5) (26.5, 27, 28, 28.5) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNIQUES USED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong-tail cast on\u003cbr\u003eBackward loop cast on\u003cbr\u003eIncreasing and decreasing\u003cbr\u003ePicking up and knitting stitches\u003cbr\u003eGerman Short Rows\u003cbr\u003eWorking flat and in the round\u003cbr\u003eBasic crochet skills\u003cbr\u003eItalian bind-off (optional)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eweknit \u0026 Craft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45187905028193,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0229\/5835\/files\/Photo-22_medium_a8f4ee91-56d5-43a5-b5fb-33221356d2b2.jpg?v=1781377116","url":"https:\/\/eweknit.co\/products\/serena-top","provider":"Eweknit \u0026 Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
