Dropped stitches don’t always have to be a mistake if you drop them on purpose!

This design uses intentionally dropped stitches as a design feature in the decorative cable hem. A few of these dropped stitch columns are carried up into the body of the top, and when it’s time to finish the neckline and shoulders, the stitches are dropped to create the final design. It’s a fun way to play with dropped stitches.
