Sunny Day Top

Embrace the sunshine with the Sunny Day Top, a knitting pattern designed to bring a smile to your face and effortless style to your wardrobe. This charming sleeveless top is worked seamlessly from the top down, offering a simple construction that's a joy to knit and wear. Two stunning lace panels, laid perfectly in the center, create a beautiful focal point. In contrast, the garter stripes on the sides provide a touch of texture and visual interest, complementing the elegance of the lace. The star of this design is how it tackles the common challenges of lace knitting and shaping. All increases and decreases are cleverly integrated into the garter stitch stripes, keeping the lace pattern completely intact from start to finish without the hassle of working partial lace motifs while navigating complex shaping. The pattern also includes other design elements, clever techniques, and detailed instructions to help knitters create a perfect piece, such as how to prevent lagging at the end of a garter stitch round, how to create a nice, neat edge and prevent it from rolling, and how to create symmetrical stripes around the shoulder. The pattern also comes with options for both a crop length for a playful look and a classic full-length silhouette. **SIZE** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) shown in size 2 with approx. 8 cm/3.25” of positive ease **Finished Bust Circumference:** 88 (95, 106, 115, 126) (135, 146, 155, 166) cm / 35 (38, 42.5, 46, 50.5) (54, 58.5, 62, 66.5)”.
