Mountain Laurel Top
Looking for a staple wardrobe piece for the spring and summer?
This sweet, everyday top may be the perfect addition to your closet.
This beginner-friendly top is made with just a couple of basic stitches. The front and back panels are constructed all in one piece, with the ribbing and the sleeves integrated into the rows. Then the front and back are attached together with a slst and chain pattern. A simple sc border stitch finishes the neck edge, and the top is complete! No sewing and no fussy add-ons or sleeves. Graded for 9 sizes, from XS-5X, to ensure the perfect fit.
