The style of this loose fitting top has a definite vintage flavour. There are central raised Leaf Panels set on reverse stocking stitch on the back, front and sleeves, with the final leaf ending neatly with a single knit stitch running up to the top edge. The borders on the lower edge continue up the side edges to the underarms, and the sleeves are also edged with the same border. Neat raglans make this super comfortable to wear. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
