The Itsawraptop is a wrap top that ties on both sides or at the back. It has a deep back neckline and is knitted seamlessly top down.  Optionally, the top can be knitted in a cropped length so that it ends with the waist icord. Alternatively, stitches can be picked up at the end to add length. All edges of this top as well as the straps are worked using the icord technique.

Size guide

The top should be knitted with a negative ease of 3 - 6cm to get a nice figure-hugging fit. The size is determined by the bust circumference, which is approximately (78-82cm) 83-87cm (88-92cm) 93-97cm (98-102cm) 103-107cm (108-112cm) 113-117cm (118-122cm). If you are between two sizes, I would recommend to choose the larger one.
