Option 1: Gepard Hør Silke   |   Option 2: Gepard Wild & Soft  |   Option 3: Gepard My Soft One
..............................

CILLA SUN is a light, feminine summer top featuring a graceful lace motif. It is knitted seamlessly from the neckline downward for a polished finish.

The design begins with the front yoke, worked flat. Stitches are then picked up along the angled edges of each shoulder, where increases shape the yoke. Each shoulder section is completed individually before joining to form the back neckline and yoke. The front and back are united at the underarm, and the remainder of the body is worked in the round.

Sizes: (1) 2 (3) 4 (5) 6 (7)
Bust circumference: (96) 104 (112) 120 (128) 136 (144) cm
Length: (45) 46 (47) 49 (51) 53 (55) cm

Because of its straightforward construction, the shoulder width of CILLA SUN matches the bust circumference for each size. Larger bust measurements result in a wider shoulder fit, allowing the fabric to gently drape over the shoulder curve and give the impression of a short sleeve.
