A cool, lightweight top in eleven sizes (XXS to L and 1X to 6X) to knit as a crew or scoop neck with or without sleeves. Top is designed without body shaping for a comfortable fit through the torso. An allover twist stitch pattern of falling petals cascades down the body with short sleeves in stockinette; long sleeve version echoes the textured pattern below the elbow. Hem and neck edge finishes are worked with picot points. Knit with a fresh, plant-based blend, this top will take you from spring through the hottest summer days and into fall. Pairs well with jackets for the office or dressier events; work in a wool lace or light fingering yarn for a stunning winter layering piece. All pieces are knit flat, bottom up and seamed to finish.
