I originally designed this top to be made in cotton with a more relaxed fit (no ease, or a little positive ease) for the summer months, but it also works well in other fibres for the cooler weather. With this in mind I would recommend choosing your actual bust measurement, or the smaller one if you’re between sizes or want a more closely fitted garment.

Knitted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, Summer Snow features garter stitch and eyelet details at the edgings, and a dramatic laced V at the back. Rapid decreases at the yoke create subtle feminine gathers around the scoop neck. Using the Glitter thread is optional – knitting without it will not alter your tension or affect the finished garment.
