Seashell resonance

Seashells Resonance pairs a simple Lace Shell motif with a garter-stitch background for a clean, textured, easy-to-wear knit top. Inspired by the stillness of the shoreline and the beauty of shells along the sand, this design brings a soft, sea-soaked feel to an everyday handmade piece. Designed for advanced beginners and beyond, Seashells Resonance is knit from the bottom up and uses simple increases and decreases to create the lace section. The shoulders are finished with a tidy three-needle bind-off, and the pattern includes directions for short rows and bust darts to help refine the fit. This close-fitting top is designed to be worn with zero to slight negative ease and includes instructions for both cropped and full-length versions. **SIZING** Sizes: XS (S, M, L) [XL, 2XL, 3XL] {4XL, 5XL, 6XL} Finished Chest Circumference: 28.5 (32.5, 36, 40) [44, 48, 52] {56.5, 59.5, 68}" / 71 (81, 90, 100) [110, 120, 130] {141, 149, 170} cm **NEEDLES** US 4 / 3.5 mm & US 2½ / 3 mm Circular needles (40 or 60 cm long) **YARN** Yarn Weight: sport or baby.
