Knitting pattern in German and English for a light, sleeveless summer top with a slightly transparent yoke, a ruffled body and a decorative keyhole button at the back.

Structure:
First you are going to knit the right shoulder part, then the left. They are going to be connected after the keyhole button at the back. As soon as you have reached your desired length under the armpit, the front part is knitted directly onto the back. Afterwards, front and back are connected and finished in rounds with some increases for a ruffled look.
In the end, the armholes, the round neck and the keyhole button are finished with an i-cord edging.

Level of difficulty: advanced beginners to medium level of difficulty.

Available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL.
