NOTES

• This top is worked in the round from the top down with raglan shaping.

• When increasing for the raglan shaping, keep at least one stitch on each side of every marker in stockinette stitch. When working additional stitches into the mesh pattern, do not work a yarn over if there are not enough stitches to work the corresponding decrease.
