The Blythe Top is the first design of @gottahook featuring Lemon peel stitch. It is the perfect top to wear during summer/humid weather but you can also layer it with other pieces during rainy or cold weather. It is made from top to bottom. The upper part hugs the body perfectly while the lower part is made up of ruffles which allows the top to be flowy.

For the ruffles. I decided to make it to be “made-to-measure” because the waist and the ruffles part would look best if it fits the particular person perfectly. The sizes given for this top are just a range. The upper body part instructions are graded because it would still stretch on the bust depending on the yarn you use. Therefore, it would fit any measurements on that given range. But for the waist and ruffles, I want it to fit perfectly on the waist. Don’t worry because the instructions are pretty easy and not as intimidating as it seems.
