I just finished making this top for a friend. I used 2 strands of 4 ply cotton and 5mm needles (just to speed things up a bit). It turned out beautifully, I'm really proud of it! 🙂

I must made this top and it’s so so cute!!! I’m gonna make more. I also just got your knitting book and I hope you write another, it’s great!!! You’re the person who inspired me to learn how to knit. Because I just couldn’t believe that I could watch videos on KZread of something that I didn’t even know how to do and find them so inspiring and interesting. So thank you for that 😊 It’s so much fun!!!

I have just finished knitting the artic light sweater and I have loved it - I will surely knit this one too!

I'm a beginner knitter & I'm going to try to make it for my 15 yr old granddaughter. Hopefully it looks like yours ! FYI my husband's grandmother was born in Finland. Love how you talk through your videos. I live in New Hampshire ❤

Love your tutorials. I will be buying each pattern from your Ravelry shop that you made tutorials for on Your channel. Your knit tutorials make me buy your patterns because I feel like I’m getting lessons from you. You are extremely positive. Thank you!

Thank you! Lovely pattern and clear instructions for a newer knitter!

I love this! I'm working on a summer t shirt already, but I'll definitely be adding this to my project list once I'm done. I also love how easy it is to customize tops like this to fit your body. For anyone with a non-normative body, it's really helpful.

Very excited, looks like a great beginner's project so I just bought the yarn, very excited

I have decided to make this for my first project! Can’t wait!

I love your videos they are always so clear and easy to understand 😊

I just orderer the yarn, can't wait to star it ! And can't wait for your striped top tutorial too 😉😉

I love these tutorials x 🥰 thank you x

Aah I appreciate this tutorial so much! It’s perfect thank you!

I really really love your videos! Get so much help from them, especially the tutorials :))

Ooh La La, so pretty and easy.

Definitely going to try making one soon. Thank you for your tutorial 🐬🌼

Beautiful, thanks for the tutorial 💕

Lovely Kika❤ was waiting for a knitting tutorial from you for longest time..

Aaah so lovely to see my hometown in a famous youtuber's video :)!! (Tallinn at 8:58) I could've been walking by! :) A very good tutorial as well, I think I might get inspired to try to make something as well in the summer.

This top is so nice...please make more!

Hello dearest I live in Sweden I was looking for knitters on KZread I saw your work and you are a true artist absolutely amazingly talented your work is flawless thank you so very much

This helped so much! I’m going to use this technique to make a short summer dress as well! I figure if you can make a tank top, you can make it a bit longer into a dress! You could also make a halter with those straps, either tie them around your neck or make them shorter to sew them together. I never use patterns, I mostly freehand everything

Hi Kutovakika! I want to say that you inspire me very much and I really enjoy your videos. They are artistic and beautiful while being quite easy-going and I think that makes you unique. I enjoy your talks too, about knitting, photography or life in general. This video is brilliant and I will definitely knit this top (I noticed that your pattern offers a wide range of sizes too, which a plus size girl like me surely appreciates!). I would love to see more videos like this where we can follow a pattern step-by-step. It makes me feel like I can do anything when I'm watching you do it :) So thank you, keep up the good work and lots of love from your Swedish fan!

Thank you going to try 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

Kika, this looks so fun! Thank you for this ! ClaudiaSJI

I just made something similar without a pattern for the first time haha, but instead of a summer top it's a cropped vest top in silk merino to wear on top of a blouse (like you do in the intro). Looks like I did pretty well, I'm gonna check if I have some cotton yarn for the summer version!

@@1959GreenGables I don't, I haven't started yet. But I should think it's in the pattern when you buy it on her Ravelry. Standard sizes are 80 cm and 100 cm and this is quite form fitting to I'd say 80 cm for up to a large and 100 cm for anything larger.

This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it! Please may I ask what length of cord the circular needles should have? I’m looking to make the same size as you. Sorry if I’ve missed it and you already said! Xx

I don’t think she mentioned. I’d probably try no larger than a 24 inch one. You may need to even try a 16 inch, but once you’ve knit past the cast on edge you could probably use a longer cord

Im going to try this but do a more laced knit on the back with a purse stitch.

Love your tutorial, very easy to follow and love the pattern with the square neckline. Will definitely be buying the pattern. Just a question, can I just use a single DK cotton yarn held single, assuming I get same gauge?

@Kutovakika

Yes you can absolutely do that, I’d look for a yarn with a yardage somewhere in between 80-120 m per 50g, I think then you should be able to get gayge easily ☺️

Hey what needles are you working with they’re gorgeous and I love how pointy they are I got some Addis and they’re so blunt they’re beautiful needles but they’re just so blunt even though I got the mixer so half of them are silk tips and others are regular tips and they’re all blunt even sell tips they’re doable though I’m not gonna return it I don’t think it’s a beautiful needles but I really need some pointy ones and I learned on wood so I am fond of wood needles just wondering what friend you’re working with

👍👍👍👍👍👍

I had made a similar top a long time ago, and I was very proud of it. I also used cotton, but I carelessly threw it in the washing machine and it shrunk in size. I was wondering if you ever shrunk your cotton yarn before starting to knit?

@satsumamoon

Normally you make a swatch and measure it before and after washing so you can account for shrinkage that way.

Can I use 100% linen for this pattern ? Or for your other camisole in two colors? 😊

Im making a xL sized tank top. How would I know how many stitches I should bind off for the chest and back. Would I have to measure it myself and count how many stitches I have in an inch?

How many do I need to cast on for a medium?

🇧🇷🌷💕💥LINDA BLUSA OBRIGADA 😘

Beginner knitter here! Is there a reason why you have to use DPNs for the straps? Could you use straight needles instead?

I have just purchased the pattern and am getting my supplies together. This will be my first garment as I’m a new knitter. I have to order DPNs. One thing I notice is you do not mention what length of DPN to use. US Size 6 comes in different lengths. What length do you recommend?

Would love to know where you got the guage ruler. I see that being very handy. BTW, Love your pattern. Planning on knitting one for my Daughter… I know she will love it!

I had the same issue this morning but now it works!

I was very excited to knit this top, especially as I am new to garment knitting and this tutorial seems so very doable. However, maybe I'm reading the pattern wrong but it doesn't seem to be size inclusive. I have a 45" bust but the biggest size in the pattern is 41.5". I am planning to make this with a worsted weight yarn (held single) and I know the finished fabric will stretch but I'm a bit disappointed that I spend $$$ on a pattern that doesn't seem to be inclusive. ETA - I re-read the pattern and remembered negative ease (garment newbie here!). I almost make it to the 41.5" measurement so I'll have to see how it fits in the end. 🤞🏽

How did you go with the size? The 41.5 sounds like the right size for you.

How do you block your knits while having cat(s)? Mine always play around a blocked piece (i guess it's interesting because it's a new thing around), pulling stitches, leaving hairs... I just don't know what to do.

Safran held together. I guess Paris can also be ok. But if you want to use Muskat or Belle I would recommend to go down in needle size (4 mm) and knit a bigger size, you need to check your gauge to do the conversion.

Thanks- Saffran is on offer at Wool Warehouse!

Top looks like a nice & very easy knit (being an experienced knitter), but won't yarn held double like this result in a bit too thick - and thus hot - fabric for summer..? For me it would be, I fear ;) So I'd surely make it with single strand yarn; I have plenty of 100% cotton yarns (I love cotton!), incl. Safran, so should be able to make this from my stash :) Btw, I find 'ylivetokavennus' way easier than SSK (which is really not used at all in Finnish patterns), just a personal preference, though IMO that'd probably be easier for newbies, too. :) And I do the same kind of knots when continuing yarn too, I *hate* weaving in ends so the less of them, the better ;)

I know some find knitting with smaller needles tedious, but I don't (well, for the most part - we all know there comes a point in almost every project where you feel a bit bored with it) ;)

i casted on 94 stitches ...*gulps* I don't know how it'll turn out, but if it doesn't fit me I'll just give it to my lil cousin.

For all the beginners, i wanna tell you've to make sure it doesnt get twisted again nd again , i had to unravel it all after 40 rows😢😢

Bit disappointed to learn that the biggest size on the pattern only has a bust circumference of 103cm. I'm normally a 2XL but to see that a "4XL" wouldn't even fit me is a bummer, especially since the top looks great

It's actually very easy to calculate yourself the amount of stitches needed, if you know gauge & the required size (cm or inches) of the garment! :) So you don't need to be dependent on ready-made patterns.

I am actually a bit sad to see that you do not try to make adjustments to make sure that you don’t get the stripes when knitting back and forth. It is too obvious that you have different gauge on knit rows and purl rows. Try to use a needle 0,5 mm smaller for your purl rows.

I’m an absolute beginner and this is my first knitting project! 3 days in and the height of my work so far is 10 inches haha I will be here for awhile but hoping I get even faster.
