Sea Shells by the Sea Shore – P093

This top is knitted from the bottom up with three quarter sleeves, knitted separately then joined in when knitting the yoke. The shrug/cardi is meant to be fitting and when on the body, the ribbing stretches to fit the shoulders and looks really cute. Great for lightweight layering or to pop over summer dresses, keeping shoulders and chest warm on those cooler days.
This pattern has been graded for the ADVANCED knitter.
