Inverleith top knitting pattern by Ysolda Teague

The designer : Ysolda Teague is one of the best-known knitting designers, notably with her flagship model, the Ishbel shawl. She offers us original models with attention to detail and a lot of creativity in construction and knitting techniques.

The model : a boxy top knitted in the round from top to bottom, without shortened rows, but taking into account the size of the cup for the same result, whatever your figure. This will be your new favorite top!

The pattern: the original pattern in English and its translation into French (no download possible), are printed on bristol paper by me.
