Knitting Pattern | TILDA Top

Tilda is a loose fitting, cropped raglan summer top with alternating sheer and opaque stripes, and is worked seamlessly from the top down. The top has a crew neckline with a 1x1 half twisted rib stitch pattern and back neckline shaping using German Short Rows. The shoulders are formed using a raglan construction. The work is then separated to work the body and sleeves. Optional length can be added at the back hemline using German Short Rows.
