DESCRIPTION
The Bobble Up Top is a seamless, top-down raglan that blends airy lacework with a playful and three-dimensional texture reminiscent of bobble stitches for the perfect summer feel.

The colorwork pattern is achieved while only using one color at a time, so there will be minimal ends to weave in!

Featuring short sleeves and a ribbed hem, collar, and cuffs, this lightweight design is as breezy to wear as it is to make. The ribbed collar features increases and decreases that are designed to raise the back of the neck in order to make the top have an improved fit around the neckline.
