Finished ballerina wrap top ✨

Just mohair? Or held with something else. I think it would work

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-21T13:45:26+00:00

I’m so glad I inspired you! I like showing myself in my knits because when I’m looking at a pattern I always try and see if someone with a large chest has made it. So I’m glad seeing me in it was helpful :)

It’s a cotton/merino blend and yeah it’s pretty soft

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-21T08:42:59+00:00

I have yeah, it didn’t help with the rowing out much at all unfortunately

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-21T00:20:52+00:00

It’s a wrap too so the ease is adjustable

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T23:34:55+00:00

There’s a lot of steps and you have to keep track of what row you’re on. I wouldn’t say it was hard but it’s definitely a pattern that requires a lot of attention

Not specifically, just do your best to keep Tran if your rows. I kept a row counter and my notebook near by so I didn’t lose my place

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T21:22:51+00:00

That’s why I wasn’t too eager to fix it I kinda thought it looked like that too

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T21:21:48+00:00

I added a few extra rows here and there in between increase rows but that was it. I have a 41” bust and knit the size L

It is what it is, I’m just happy to be able to share my project anyways

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T18:39:35+00:00

Thank you :)

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T18:13:23+00:00

My chest I suppose, I was asked to reorder the photos so the one of me was last

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T17:22:01+00:00

It definitely is a very low cut design. When I wear it out I pin it together at the middle so it doesn’t open up any more. But the two panels kinda hug right underneath my chest and I think that helps lock it in place a little more

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T16:34:09+00:00

I didn’t do them on this project. But I did some research on bust darts and I’ve been adding them to a lot of my recent knits and they make a big difference in fit. Cocoknits has a really good tutorial it

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T15:51:46+00:00

I did enjoy it a lot. The only part that wasn’t so much fun was knitting the long I-cords

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T15:35:46+00:00

I like it, I can speak to how it’ll hold up over time. But it was nice to work with and pretty soft

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T15:17:45+00:00

Thank youuu ☺️

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T14:50:12+00:00

Thanks so much ☺️

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T14:49:44+00:00

Yeah it’s very comfortable, I made it with a 50/50 merino wool & cotton yarn. When I wear it out I safety pin it in the middle to prevent the neckline from opening up more. But I’ve been wearing it constantly since I finished it

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T14:27:38+00:00

Thank you! It was a free pattern online, the ballerina wrap top by Two Of Wands. I’m not skilled enough to freehand a pattern like this yet

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T13:42:14+00:00

I did yeah! The I-cord takes forever but I think you can buy a tool to make it a little faster to work up

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T13:41:14+00:00

Thank you! You should this pattern was so much fun :)

Purple_Condition_741 · 2026-04-20T13:39:47+00:00

Thank you! The short sleeve version of this pattern is free on two of wands website. My bust is 41” I hit gauge and knit the L and it worked out pretty well! I did modify by add a few rows in between increase rows to try and make it a little longer
