2012 Summer Top/ Dress
This is a cute girly top knitted in the round from top down, seamlessly.
The original design was to use 2 different colors of fingering yarn held together for the bodice, then use only one for the skirt. This is the highly recommended way of getting the best result from this pattern. As in the 1st and 2nd feature photo, you can see that the mixing of 2 different colors creates a unique look for the top.
