Lacy v-stitches are framed by dainty cables in this pretty relaxed-fit hip-length top. The ribbed hem, sleeves and neckline add structure and texture to the design.

Sizes
S: 39” circumference, for up to 34” hips with 5” positive ease
M: 44” circumference, for up to 38” hips with 6” positive ease
L: 49” circumference, for up to 44” hips with 5” positive ease
XL: 54” circumference, for up to 48” hips with 6” positive ease

Stitches used: ch, sl-st, sc, hdc, fpdc, bpdc, v-st (described in pattern), and x-st (described in pattern.)

Supplies
750-1150 yards of sport-weight yarn (a couple of testers used DK weight yarn successfully for a less lacy look)

Stitch markers
Blocking materials

Pattern Format:
PDF. Includes written instructions, a charted stitch diagram, and schematics for assembly and sizing. It has been been fully tested by wonderful fellow Ravelers in my testing group to give you the best crocheting experience possible.
