June’s top mirrors the simplicity of a summer meal, grilled and served alfresco. This pattern is paired with a recipe for grilled summer veggie pasta.

This camisole is a simple top that knits up quickly for a cute outfit in the heat of summer.

Pattern Notes
Knit from the top down with linen stitch bands to stabilize the blousy ruching of the bodice. The A-line body drapes gracefully below the bodice and the shoulder straps are knit separately and sewn on afterward.
