PATTERN NOTES
This top is worked seamlessly from the top down starting with a lacy collar knit sideways. Stitches are then picked up along the bottom edge of the collar and joined to work in the round for the remainder of the body. Circular increases shape the yoke. You may wish to break colors at each color change to prevent a bulky seam from forming at the beginning of the round. The Scallop Eyelet Border pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

Please note that size 2X is written to make the most of 1 ball of color B and 3 balls of color D. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an extra skein as insurance.
