Garden Summer Top Knitting Pattern

Knit a Summer Top Worth Keeping All Season

Most summer tops you make end up sitting unworn. This one gets reached for because it actually fits well, moves easily, and has a detail along the side that makes it look more considered than your average warm-weather knit.

The floral embroidery along the left side is optional but finishable. The construction is clear from shoulder down, so you always know where you are in the piece.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust circumference 83–151 cm (33.25"–60.5"), body length approx. 48.5–64.5 cm (19.5"–25.75") across 10 sizes

• Available in 10 sizes with generous size guidance, so you can choose fit based on your actual measurements, not just guess
• Two side motif options (full cable or lace + cable) let you adjust the look and difficulty to suit what you feel like making
• The top-down construction keeps the project easy to try on as you go, so the fit is right before you bind off

          "I was nervous about the embroidery but it was actually the most enjoyable part."
