PATTERN NOTES
This top is worked in pieces from the bottom up, starting with a lace hem knit sideways. Stitches are then picked up along the slipped stitch edge of the hem and worked from the bottom up for the Front and Back pieces. The shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind off. Stitches for the neckband and armhole edging are picked up after seaming and worked in the round. The Scallop Eyelet Border pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

This top is intended to have an oversized fit with a 10-22” of positive ease, depending on how you like your garments to fit. Consider the finished measurements to choose a size that gives you the fit you prefer, keeping in mind that larger sizes will fall lower on your arm.
