FiDi Top
The FiDi Top, named after the Financial District of San Francisco, is the kind of warm-weather top you’ll want to wear everywhere, including the office. Delicate lace and cable details mimicking the high-rise buildings of the district frame a classic neckline. The fluttery sleeves drape elegantly on the shoulders, as you gaze up at the skyscrapers about town.
This top is knit from the bottom-up in the round until the divide for the front and back. Arm-hole shaping is worked simultaneously with the lace/cable motif. Short rows shape the shoulders and sleeves, which are picked up after connecting the front and back with a three-needle BO.
SIZES: XS (S, M, L, 1XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) = 34 (38, 42, 46, 50)(54, 58, 62, 66)” Bust, includes 2” of positive ease.
Sample shown in size S.
