With a pretty Picot cast on giving this top a flirty appearance along with two pretty lace patterns on one side of both the front and back. A lace bind off finishes up the straight boat neckline. You'll love the yarn too with a guaranteed great drape and truly comfortable soft feel. The shoulders and sides show off an attractive garter stitch pattern and the top also has a 3.5" side slit as well. So, there is a lot going on here but that after all gives it that scrumptious look~ Oh and it needs to be said that this top looks great as a summer top as well as over a long sleeve t-shirt or a crisp white long sleeve blouse on cooler days~ The pattern is fully written, includes a schematic, two charts as well as a measurement chart for bust sizes 34" to 58" with a 9" positive ease worked into every size. **Yarn** Luxe, a blend of 40% organic cotton and 60% bamboo in a sport weight. 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/4/4/4/4/4/4 skeins used with 275 yards/100 grams each.
