This top is knitted in the round from top down, and was
designed to show off some self striping cotton yarn. As with all my designs,
the top is very easy to customize with any personal details (crocheted flowers,
cute buttons, some color work, etc...).
Ruffled summer top is also available in two adult sizes in
sizes 81.5 cm/32" and 86.5 cm/34".
