DESCRIPTION
Mountain Laurel Top features a combination of cables and lace to create a richly textured top. Minimalistic finishing with i-cord edging lets the stitch patterns shine. The plant fibers in the yarn lend a natural drape to the fabric, while the silk in the blend gives the top an elegant subtle sheen.

The relaxed fit and breathable fibers of this sleeveless top make it perfect for those first warm days of spring. I named it after an iconic spring flower of the Blue Ridge mountains where I live – the mountain laurel.

SIZING
Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men’s sizing chart. Both fit types are graded to 11 sizes, designed to fit bodies with bust/chest measurements between 30-66” (75-165 cm).

See the Pattern Details PDFs linked above to for a full schematic.
