Structural and natural elements joing in this contemporary design that wows. The body of the Bixby Top features a mirrored grid of eyelets, which accentuate the V-neck and form geometric lace, while the sleeves flutter with a botanical motif. The union of these two patterns produces an exceptional and unexpected tee.

NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• The body of this top is worked in the round from the bottom up, then divided at the armholes. Back, right front, and left front are worked separately back and forth to the shoulders. The sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up around the armholes.

• Use stitch markers in two different colors or styles—one to mark the side “seams,” the other to mark the column of purl sts at center front and back.
