Pattern Overview:
The Poolside Top is a feminine and romantic lace knit featuring an eye-catching leaf motif and delicate eyelet details. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the design begins with a softly shaped mock neck and continues into a beautifully textured yoke before the front and back are joined to work the body in the round.

The top is designed with a relaxed fit that comfortably skims the body without being oversized. The combination of the central leaf motif and staggered eyelets creates a delicate, airy fabric that is perfect for warm weather and layering.

Note: there is guidance if you want to knit the poolside top as a sweater. Please message me on IG if you need assistance as there are not specific instructions.
