Cadaquès is a top with a V-neckline and cabled straps. Knitted with a vegetable yarn, your knit will be soft, fluid and fresh. Perfect for the summer season or midseason!
It is knitted from top to bottom, starting with one side then the other. We connect the two pieces to knit the rest of the body in the round with a few increases on the side to give it a slightly flared shape at the bottom. You can also omit the increases to have a straight tank top.

NOTES: the pattern is knitted in Kaléido (92 % bambou, 8 % lin) from La Droguerie color Bleu saphir.Recommended ease: 0 to 2 inch or 0 to 5 cm of ease. To pick your best size, measure your full bust and add your desired ease, then pick the finished bust circumference closest to that number. It is of course possible to adapt and knit a size with more or less ease than recommended.
If you hesitate between two sizes, prefer the size below.
Sample is shown in size 4 with 1 inch or 3 cm of positive ease and slightly flared shape.
Be careful because the vegetable fibers tend to relax.
The choice of fiber will also affect the drape of your top. Silk, bamboo will have a beautiful, fluid drape.
Cotton and linen will have less drape because they are fibers without elasticity.
