Francisca is a strikingly pretty yet surprisingly easy to knit summer top.

Francisca consists of 2 identical rectangles that are knitted separately. Join the shoulder seams with a 3-needle-bind-off, close the sides, and your top is ready to wear.

The easy and simple design allows for maximum flexibility in sizing: add more pattern repeats to make it wider and knit as many of the 4-row pattern as you like for the perfect length.

Instructions and measurements are given for size medium (= appr. 38 - 40 inch bust); the model is shown with no ease. Knitting a larger top will affect the yarn amount needed.
