Hi! This is the first pattern that I ever designed. I wanted to make a beachy style top/bralette that you could still wear a bra with. Wear this to your hipster beach parties or anywhere you want! This pattern is done essentially to measure, so there is no strict gauge to use. This pattern is written in US abbreviations. The yarn totally changes the look for this pattern, so I would recommend getting something fun and exciting. I hope you enjoy!!
