I think this top is just stunning! It would look gorgeous with jeans, layered under a nice jacket, or dressed up for going out. The ribbing pattern has a lot of sideways stretch, and the top is meant to be worn very close to the body. If you’d prefer a looser fit, you might want to go up a size – just check the finished measurements when deciding which size to make.

This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.

The openwork pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
