This top is so pretty and the wide fit in this soft yarn adds drape. If you like cropped, boxy and easy to knit, you’ll love this design, but also easy to increase the length as indicated in the instructions. Just remember this may require more yarn than stated. The main pattern consists of individual eyelets highighted with purl stitch “ridges” on the previous and following rows, adding texture. On the yoke the same pattern is used but with eyelets set closer together. All borders are worked in a pretty slip stitch pattern. Worked bottom up with full written instructions.
