Button Front Top Knitting Pattern

Knit a Top That Fits Like It Was Made for You

You already know how hard it is to find a summer top that sits right, skims where it should, and actually flatters your shape. This one you build yourself, to your own measurements.

The 4x1 rib pulls in at the waist, the open front hem adds a little ease at the hip, and you decide the length. No guessing, no hoping it works out.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust circumference 74–119 cm / 29.1–46.9 in (7 sizes). Total length 47–53 cm / 18.5–20.9 in.

• Waist shaping built in. Three decrease rows create a fitted waist naturally. You can add an extra decrease row for an even closer fit or adjust the spacing for a longer torso.
• Top-down construction with clear size charts. Each section tells you exactly where your piece should measure before moving on, so you stay on track without second-guessing.
• The open front hemline is adjustable. Work to your preferred length below the waist and customize how much the front panels overlap or separate.

"The shaping really works. I was nervous about a silk yarn but the rib is so even and the fit is spot on."
