The Pea Blossom Sleeveless Top is a cable and lace patterned garment, knit in two pieces, bottom-up construction,with an asymmetric front hemline, created using German Short Rows (GSRs). There is no waist shaping, and only the slightest armhole shaping. Edge stitches make seaming a breeze. This top can be worn over tanks, long and short sleeve tees, or over a dress or skirt. Though this garment is hip length, it is easily cropped or lengthened to suit one’s personal aesthetic.

Instructions are both written and charted, and includes a schematic.
