I'm all aflutter, knit kit

I’m all aflutter top

A light, airy and perfectly balanced top. The bottom lace knits up first and sets the stage with a slit on one side. A bit of everything is going on here, from knitting flat to knitting in the round. The sleeves are picked up and knitted flat in garter stitch. They are left un-seamed for even more comfort and flair that adds another lovely detail.

This top feels and looks great in a yarn that drapes beautifully~

For bust sizes 36”/40”/42”/46”/50”/54”. NOTE: If you are between sizes as posted, go with the larger one of the two, to be safe.
