This is a bottom-up summer raglan top with fairly deep armholes and butterfly-style sleeves. It is started in the round and after splitting for armholes the front and back are worked flat. They are joined together in a ribbed collar. Sleeves are added by picking up stitches and working short-rows. The top can be worn with the V either facing front or back.

Yarn selection
Since I got the Summer Delight it has been discontinued. I recommend checking on https://yarnsub.com/ to find a replacement or check with your LYS. For MC (white in my sample) I recommend using cotton or a cotton blend. The CC yarns are more flexible; I have tried with both cotton and wool with a good result. CC2 (light blue in my sample) can be either one color or various colors/yarns - good use for matching scraps!

Yardage
MC 42%
CC1 21%
CC2 37%
