This relaxed-fitting top is a little bit boho, a little bit fairytale and a whole lot of joy! Inspired by June, the lunar month, full of blooms, it’s seamlessly constructed top down, then in the round from the underarm in classic stockinette on the sides and continuing the floral motif lace panels. It features a pretty keyhole back button closure and a whimsical ruffled hem, this romantic piece is perfect for the dreamer in all of us.

The pattern comes with written and chart instructions and a schematic.
