This lace-sampler top is knit in two simple rectangles from the bottom up & seamed at the shoulders & sides to create the boxy shape. Very suitable for beginners, would make an excellent first garment !

Also, check out forevermohr’s edit of my pattern that is knitted in one piece + provides info on how to adjust gauge / resize.
