New take on a traditional ripple stitch pattern that was so popular in the 70s. Top is worked from the top down with raglan sleeves. The ripples begin with the empire waist and work down to the desired length. This allow you to try the garment on to insure fit as you work. Also allows you to increase or decrease ease at the empire waist and across the bust. Although pattern calls for 7 skeins only the two skeins of the main color used to work the main part of the top will be used completely. There will be yarn leftover in the 5 skeins used to work the ripple stitch pattern.
