Always make a gauge swatch before beginning to ensure your finished top matches the intended measurements.

✨ DROP STITCH PATTERN

The beautiful open texture is created using different numbers of yarn-over wraps.

The pattern explains:

• Standard yarn overs
• Double yarn overs (2yo)
• Triple yarn overs (3yo)
• How to drop the yarn-over wraps correctly
• How to create elongated stitches without changing the stitch count

The main Drop Stitch design uses an 8-row repeat, with complete written instructions included in the PDF.

👚 CONSTRUCTION

This top has a wonderfully simple construction.

The Back and Front are knitted separately from the lower edge upward. When you reach the sleeve area, additional stitches are cast on at both sides to create the short sleeves.

This means there are no separate sleeves to knit and set in.

The Front uses an offset version of the Drop Stitch pattern and is finished with neckline shaping. After knitting, simply sew the shoulder seams, side seams and underarm sleeve seams.
