This lovely A-line top was designed by Helene Rush and is knit with 2nd Time Cotton from Knit One, Crochet Too. It is knit in the round from the bottom up on circular needles, with the knitting divided for the front and back shoulders to be worked separately. Then the front and back are joined at the shoulders with a 3-needle bind off and stitches are picked up and knit for the neck and armhole edgings. A chevron stitch is used at the hem and armholes and is charted in the pattern. The shaping is flattering, with a flared silhouette. Six sizes are available with finished chest measurements of 36 (39.5, 42, 45.5, 52)". Finished lengths are 22 (22.5, 23, 23.5, 24)".

2nd Time Cotton is a blend of 75% recycled cotton and 25% acrylic made in the U. S. A. The color line includes solid colors and ragg-style colorways. This yarn can be machine washed and dried flat.

The kit includes the yarn and pattern. You will also need:

one 30-32" circular needle in size US 8 OR SIZE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN GAUGE
