Roxanne Top Vol. 2

This is a knitting pattern (PDF) only.

Brief overview / tips:

The top is worked from the top down.

First, the front piece is worked back and forth. Then, the back piece is worked back and forth in two separate sections. The front and back pieces are then joined under the arms, and the body is worked back and forth.

The front of the top is worked entirely in stockinette stitch, while the back is worked entirely in a lace pattern.

There is ribbing only around the neckline, and finally, the fringes are attached.

Sizes:

1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7
