I love how some of these patterns have the neckline depth included! I have a short upper torso and many tops are just too scooped out for me. This makes it easier to make alterations to the patterns if necessary.
Nice round up! About the knitting for olive pure silk: I think the main factor (apart from the tactile experience you mentioned) is that it is a cruelty free fiber - the threads being harvested after the moth has left its chrysalis instead of the chrysalis being boiled with the animal inside (thereby killing it) to harvest the silky threads. Martina from We grow Wild has an entire series on cruelty free silks.😊
Loved most of these tops! Thank you for sharing! Unfortunately this year summer has been quite cold this year. I think yesterday was a first day that I didn’t wear a cardie with my outfit. So summer knits are not really calling me at the moment but my cardie queue is growing 😂
Wow, this was a big round up! I am absolutely blown away by the Vico Tank and HAVE to make it. Like, NOW. Excuse me while I raid my yarn pantry. Another top that I'm planning to make, and which was not in your video but is pretty popular right now is the Chrysler Top by Pernille Larson (Knitting for Olive). If anyone wants to knit this - check out what the Knitting for Olive book that contains the pattern costs as the Kindle version before buying the pattern separately, I paid less for the whole book than I would have paid for the pattern.
Nice round up. Check out the recently released Cleo Top by Rust Knitwear. It is size inclusive, has three neck line options and also optional bust shaping. Simone has some really nice patterns. I can highly recommend the Ellie summer top as well although that one is not fully size inclusive.
I think I might try the Forest Garden pattern. I recently went through and sorted my stash, and found a bag of seven balls of DK in a pretty blue that I clearly had some purpose in mind for, once upon a time. Rather than try to figure out what on earth that intention might have been, using that yarn for this pattern seems like a good bet. It's written for a cotton/silk blend, so my cotton/linen yarn is probably a reasonable substitution. The pattern looks gorgeous, if challenging -- though, note to anyone else interested in this one, a lot of the Ravelry comments seem to suggest sizing down as it runs big.
Love to see a size-inclusive roundup 👏 There are some gems in this list for sure! I just wanted to mention that size-inclusive means a 60" minimum bust after ease is considered. So if a pattern has a finished bust of 60" but recommends 2" of positive ease it doesn't quite make the cut. But overall a great list, thanks for putting it together!
thank you for including so many bra friendly options! going bra free isn't really an option for me as I'm larger in the bust and i find strapless bras are not very comfortable and give a bit of a uniboob shape anyway.
Thanks for sharing! One tip that can be handy for these kinds of bottom up camisoles is stopping your knitting a couple decreases early and making 5-stitch or 7-stitch cord straps…I know they’re still icord and not necessarily more bra friendly; however, they may feel more robust and be less prone to stretch over time!

Would a new cardigan pattern roundup be one of interest?!

I have seen the pattern!! I love it, but it came out just after I finished editing this video 🥲

Great suggestions and introducing new-to-me designers. Love these pattern into videoa
That’s wonderful! Which was your favourite?!
@@highfiberknits I love the Fluer cami. So delicate. Also looks like a fun knit. I put it in my favs. Never heard of the designer. Thanks!

Woohoo! Gonna save some of these. Thanks! 😊
Yay! Which one was your favourite?!
I've knit the Lupiini top twice so obviously I love it, but just a warning that the armholes are super deep (not bra-friendly) as written!
Thank you for letting me know!!
thank you for including so many bra friendly options! going bra free isn't really an option for me as I'm larger in the bust and i find strapless bras are not very comfortable and give a bit of a uniboob shape anyway.
I like the fleur cami, just wish it had thicker straps. I, knitting a sleeveless top called Rota right now, by Irene Lin
