This gorgeous and frilly top was designed for those hot and sunny days, especially mid-summer, when strawberry picking is at its prime. With a fitted bust and flowing waist, this top may be knit as a ruffle bralette, crop top or a long babydoll. A ruffle drapes over each shoulder to add that something extra, though standard I-cord straps are an option for those that prefer a more simplistic style. The finishing touch is a tie just under the bust for an ultra feminine look. Written for sizes XS-4XL, the Strawberry Summer Top is a gorgeous design for all body types.

Included with the pattern is a project page for knitting the top in cotton. It features a rounded hem and skipped the ruffles.

There are just SO many options in this pattern.
Skills required for this intermediate knit are knitting in the round, knitting flat, basic knit and purl stitches, decreasing (K2tog, P2tog, SSK, SSP, increasing (M1R, M1L), picking up stitches and basic seaming.
