PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. The body features a wave lace pattern that is worked in a stripe sequence. Change the colors as indicated in the pattern. You may choose to weave in ends as you go to save time. The Front and Back are separated at the armholes and worked individually to the shoulders, which are joined using the three-needle bind-off. Stitches for the neck and armholes are picked up and worked in the round after finishing using a contrasting color.

This top is written with a sizing structure that allows for a generous fit across clustered sizing. Please choose a size that best meets the amount of positive ease required for the fit you prefer.
