This year-round fashion staple will take you through any season. The breezy trellis stitch pattern is comfortable in the warmest of summer days. Or take your top into fall as a layered piece.

The diamond motif in this light, breezy top lends itself to a delicate scalloped bottom edge. Worked in the round from the bottom up, then split at the armholes to work the front and back separately back and forth. It is then finished off with a ribbed detail around the neck and armhole edges.
