Pattern Notes
Everyone’s braids are a bit different, (like gauge in knitting), so instead of exact measurements for the i-cord in the straps, the instructions have you work i-cord that is going to be longer than you need, then there are fitting instructions on how to shorten it and sew them on so your top sits on your body where you want it to!

Special Stitches
Long Loops; Palm Frond Style Motif; Ribbing

Tank section is worked seamlessly in the round. Ruffle and straps are sewn to the tank section.
