This pattern contains 2 versions:
Chicane - for DK weight yarns & Chicane Lite for Fingering/4 ply weight yarns.

Chicane is a boat-neck lacy top with dolman sleeves and tie cord shoulders. A versatile design that is knitted flat and from the top-down as a custom-fit construction. Ideal for many body shapes and yarn types. Options: sew up the shoulders for a classic look, or use contrasting colours for ribbing trims.

Note: This top is designed to fit loose against the body and sit on the upper/high hip (about 5” above the fullest part of your hip). The top is sized according to upper hip measurements. It is best to measure this area first to determine your yarn amount.
