The Summer In Bloom Top pattern is written for adventurous beginners looking to dip their toes into making garments.
This straightforward pattern samples textured stitches in the yoke and transitions to a subtle shells pattern through the body.
Worked top-down in one piece, after all of the stitches have been placed there are only two ends to weave.
With options for one or two back-tying straps in addition to the neck tie, you or your loved ones are sure to feel comfortable, confident, and secure in this top. The ties help to shape and emphasize the waist and textured stitches throughout the body ensure the garment does not cling unflatteringly.

Guidance is written for straight adult women’s sizes S, M, and L, though this pattern could be easily modified with larger or smaller hooks and yarn to create a variety of sizes from child to plus. The small and medium sizes require only one skein of yarn (~175 yards).
