Catal Top - Knitting Pattern

Knitting pattern in PDF format that includes instructions for knitting this design. Once your purchase is confirmed, you will receive an email with a link to download the pattern. You will have the English version. Remember to download and save the pattern within the first 7 days after making the purchase.

The Catal Top allows you to show off a subtly lowered neckline, without being too revealing. On a summer day, you can wear it with shorts or a skirt, or pair it with jeans in mid-season.

This is a revised version of the original pattern, including more sizes and a neater way to decrease. It is worked in-the-round, completely seamless and from the bottom up, until the armholes. Front and back are then separated, and worked flat until the shoulders.
