This is a sweet little top for any little girl. The interesting thing about this pattern is that the top has lace on the sleeves and on the back, (not the front!). The ribbing is decorative and easy. So it looks adorable from all angles! The lace is charted and the charts are large and easy to read. You will need to know or learn how to k, p, k2tog, ssk, yo, i-cord bo (instructions included - it’s easy!). It is worked top down. Top is a seamless raglan; i-cord bind off worked on the sleeve cuff. Quick and easy!
