About the pattern
The wheat top is a perfect lacy summer top. Knitted in the round from the bottom up with an easily memorized chart. Just below the bust, the front is worked with a new chart to make it less see through. Then the underarms and back piece are placed on hold separately. The front piece is worked back and forth while decreasing by placing those sts on hold as well. The back piece is then worked in a similar way, but split into two panels for a beautiful keyhole opening. The keyhole opening is given an i-cord. Then all the sts on hold are made live and an i-cord bind off follows from the center of one underarm, up around the front piece, down and up the other underarm, across the back. Lastly, an i-cord bottom edge is worked, i-cord straps are made and affixed.
