The June bug top is suitable for intermediate/advanced beginners.
This top is a knit raglan with a wide neckline & eyelet design, it is knitted top down on circular needles.

This pattern is made-to- measure, meaning it can be adjusted to fit anyone. The pattern includes some math, which is broken down into simple steps (just plugging in numbers) throughout the pattern.



How much yarn will you need?
yarn usage will differ depending on size, needles, and yarn weight- The pattern Look book will include more examples of yardage on different body sizes.
As an example- for a medium size top-
I used 5mm needles & 360 yards of Lion Brand Local Grown Worsted Cotton Yarn in Apple Pie (red version)
