I like to use double pointed needles when I do an I-Cord bind off! Then instead of slipping the stitches back after I have worked them, I can just slide the stitches to the other side of the dpn and start again. Just a tip for anyone who gets frustrated by all of the slipping! This is such a wonderful pattern, and will be such a great way to use some of the yarn I have laying around in my stash! Forever thankful!

Thank you! I just casted on a blanket that begins with a 500 row i-cord edge and it’s killing me already 😭

Very well done video! You went through the different techniques at a nice slow pace for those of us who are visual learners. Thank you so much.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this tutorial! This top is beautiful and I loved knitting it and referring to your video over and over again. You Rock!

I'm amazed at how incredibly talented you are. I was a huge fan of your photography content and I see that you're equally skilled in this too. 😯

I LOVED the directions for the Italian bind off! It’s become my favorite bindoff for hems and cuffs. Your method is so much simpler than what I’ve been doing. Thanks!

So excited to try this. I love all your videos. 💗🌟

Ive missed ur tutorials like this one. U were one of the first knitters i followed a couple years ago. I realize u had a lot last year. New home, wedding etc. But u r excellent on vlog. When i get to these stage of garment knit I have saved this pattern. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this tutorial for the Sailor Swift Top!!! I have the pattern and cannot wait to knit this. I absolutely love striped tops and this is perfect for our weather in Florida, USA!!!

Kika,this is wonderful buying the pattern and having the tutorial.I have the Lola top,the dress ,the beautiful cowl and as soon as I get back from my vacation I will buy this one.Thank you

I got this pattern last night! Can’t wait, thank you ⚓️

Thank you for this tutorial. Love it! Looks fabulous on you.

I am really enjoying knitting this for my daughter-it’s a fun pattern and the applied i-cord around the armholes and neckline gives it a beautiful neat edge. Thank you for this design!

Your hair looks so nice! I love this new top. I’ll be getting the pattern asap. I’m just now finishing up the Lola top. Always happy to see you’ve posted :)

I love all of your patterns and design as a teen.

Simple and beautiful. Thank you!❤❤❤❤

Beautiful top! Can’t wait to make it. ❤

So gorgeous!!!! Thank you so much for the video. I love your videos. I had been waiting for this pattern release. I'm so excited to knit this one up. I bought this pattern right away. Looking forward to casting this one on and I see a few color combinations in my future and also maybe some fine merino wool for fall and winter. Thank you!!! You are my favorite!

Thank you so much for this - I'm nearing the end of the body and needed to see your clear working of the fabulous icord edging.❤

It's so refreshing! I have not been knitting for about 1,5 months after baby knitting marathon and now, whebln the baby is here, I even had some doubts whether I remember the most basic stuff😂 but I am pretty sure I do 😊 very inspiring as always!

Thank you so much Veronica ♥ I am enjoying the process - very nice pattern 😍

What a beautiful top. I love it 🧶😊

Gorgeous as usual❤❤❤❤

Super cute! I'm going to order this one Thank you so much.

I’ve wanted to make this top since I first saw the pattern last summer, and I’ve finally got some yarn on order for it! I’m so excited! Thank you for making amazing patterns, Kika. I made the darling cardigan in the fall, and I can hardly ever take it off I love it so much.

Wunderschöne Arbeit - herzlichen Dank und viele Grüße ❤👍!

Amo seu trabalho em tricô. Preciso aprender urgente!😊

Amazing already got Sailor Swift💙

Thanks for the mnemonic for how to remember the way to do m1L and m1R. That's brilliant!

This is amazing! Thank you, Kika so much for this beautiful tutorial! I just bought the pattern on Ravelry and ordered some new yarn to celebrate finishing University this summer! I can't wait to cast on while being on vacation :) Thanks for all the work you put into your videos and patterns - it is greatly appreciated

I love this top! I would really like to make one!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have downloaded the pattern. I can see this as a great way to use up leftover yarns and to play with colour. A great wardrobe staple which we all need Love the play on words with the pattern name. ⛴

Very nice top! For the size 2XL the armholes were to big for me. So i made it again a bit different for the arms and a bit longer at the bottom and now it fits! Thank you!

This looks like a top you would purchase from a high end store. Kika, once again, Well done! The top looks amazing on you. I'm finishing a crochet tank top and will be starting on this one next...Thank you!!

Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel 👍❤

Would be great to have this pattern with a V-neck as well:)

You are the best ❤thanks for video 😘

Love this. ❤ i got the pattern.

Perfection ❤

Great love this easy pattern, my first camisole , just bought the pattern, have the same yarn, but to make it more easy will make it with one color, hopefully will be also nice. Actually I have also bought your other two camisole pattern. I need to start knitting 😊

Spettacolare...sei davvero molto brava...grazie

Hi Kika! Wonderful work again! Love it! I wonder if you will make such kind of tutorial for your book patterns ? It will be so helpful! Take care ! ❤

Excellent video gorgeous top well designed xx

You're so funny ,Sailor Swift. It is super cute. Thank you 😂😂💜

Love it

Beautiful

Can you make a video about how you wash all of your knit wear :)

Thanks Kika😍

❤❤❤ Just got the pattern

Thanks!

Lovely

Śliczny top🎉😊

I'm making this to my mom as a surprise gift 😊😊

Hi Kika! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have just bought your pattern, it seemed the least I could do to show you my gratitude. I am not such an expert knitter and I appreciate your generous support! 🙏♥️♥️♥️ I will try to knit it with Isager Trio 2 which is 50% linen, 30 cotton and 20 lyocell, 50 gr 175 m, it seems it could work… let me know if you disagree. Any tip welcome!

Hello! I've been very looking forward to this pattern and love that you take the time to do these tutorials. I have a question - does this tank have any sort of waist shaping? I slope quite dramatically from my waist to my (much wider) hips and find that just knitting longer for full length is problematic for me for many non positive ease patterns. If you have any recommendations for how to handle this for someone who is adv beginner-intermediate that would be amazing!

I’ve watched a few of your videos today and love your work! I’m feeling inspired to pick up knitting. Problem is, I don’t know where, or how, to start. I know many people start with easy things like winter scarves, but I have no use for something like that. Any suggestions on how to get started to lead me to something like the Sailor Swift Top?

You have an awesome creative and talented mind! Could I knit this on 24" circular needles - beginner here? Any way of making the neckline a bit deeper?????

Very cute shirt! And I’m anxious to use the I-cord facing! Btw, how do I sign up to do test knitting for you?

The icord bind off really elevates the look

Es ist alles so super gezeigt. Vielen Dank dafür ❤ aber bitte bitte auf Deutsch übersetzt. Auch wir wollen so einmalige schöne Stricksachen machen. Lg Renate 🎉

When making a test swatch do you recommend I do so in the round with both colours, or since it begins flat, can I swatch flat?

Do think if i do the cord edges on the bottom of the tank top instead of the rib hem gonna look good ???

You‘ve got such a beautiful House.

Oh beautiful Do you have pattern ? Thank you

This top looks great! I would love to knit it but I’m afraid the racer shape wouldn’t suit my shoulders. Is there an option in this pattern to make the shoulder straps a little bit wider?

You can also make an icord with a knitting mill and then sew it on and steampress it.flat..its a lot less.work.

I love your stripe addiction. I also thought "Taylor Swift" and i think you might be the Taylor Swift of knitters.

Hi Kika! I just started knitting this top and have a question: as a left-handed knitter, do I need to switch when I M1L and M1R? Stated differently, for row 1 of step 2(upper back) do I keep the original (first do M1L at beginning of row and the M1R at end) OR do the following: K2, M1R, k to last 2x M1L, k2? Thanks Kika and anyone else who knows the answer!

Could you please tell me how many skeins of drops safran will i need for size M?

I hate the line where it joins so I move the BOR to the side of the garment or better still I work.flat for stripes, its a lot less hassle and looks better . Nice top!

I knitted the top following your instructions and it worked perfectly until I reached the italian bind-off. Suddenly the hem started to get wavy and rolled outwards instead of being snug and fitted to the body. Do you have any tips what to do now and how to avoid that?

Is it me or was the video blurred at some times? Didn't fully get how to make a proper icord but i'll check some tutorials! x) Very nice 'marinière' design, I love it!! ^^

Is the top stretchy

Does anyone have any feedback on how this sits on top of bra straps? Does it cover them?

I admire your creations. I've never learned to knit. How long have you been knitting?
