This gorgeous top begins with a beautiful pattern that is chosen for its scallop edge. Then the pattern is switched to Reverse Stockinette stitch and the waist is shaped with decreases and increases. The top has a round neckline. The oriel pattern looks extensive but actually it is only 14 rows that are moved a few stitches after the first repeat. A medallion pattern adorns the front neckline and bottom edge of the sleeves.

This design is included in Fall 2013 issue of Lace ‘n More magazine. the price includes two other designs.
