Featuring a multi-color gingham pattern, this top is much easier to make than it looks! Worked in turned rounds up to the armholes in an easy to memorize stitch pattern, it only requires a little more concentration when shaping the armholes, neckline and shoulders. A simple edging, which mimics a taped edge, gives your top a polished look.
