Description
The BonBon Top combines a variety of lace eyelet patterns inspired by summer, creating a design rich in texture and lace detail.
Feminine scalloped borders and scalloped edges add a soft, elegant finish.
Wear it open or buttoned. Wear it on its own or layered. Enjoy styling it in your own way.
CONSTRUCTION
The top is worked seamlessly from top down: the back is worked first, then stitches are picked up along the shoulders to work the fronts. After completing the armhole increases, the fronts and back are joined to complete the body and stitches are picked up around the armholes to knit the border, and around the neckline for the button bands.
