Charming

This pretty little top featuring Japanese stitch patterns, combines eyelet lace knitting and twisted ribbing for a gently shaped, feminine look. Wear it over jeans or dress it up—either way you'll look fresh and charming!

Front and back are knit separately from the bottom up. Sleeves are worked, then all seams are sewn before the simple, garter stitch neckline is completed. Three small buttons add a pretty detail to the front. Charts make it easier to work garment shaping in lace. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Advanced Intermediate knitters.
