NOTES

• This top is worked in one piece from the bottom up in the round.

• Straps are crocheted separately and sewn onto the top after the body is complete.

• To change colors, work to the last yarnover in the old color, pick up the new color, yarn over, and complete the stitch with the new color.

• Do not cut the main color (MC) until the body of the top is complete. Carry the MC up the wrong side (WS) of the work. Carry the contrasting color (CC) up the WS of the work between Rounds 5 and 7. Cut CC after Round 7.

• Due to the lacy stitch pattern of this top, it will want to “grow” widthwise. When blocking, pull it firmly into shape, from top to bottom, then pin and let dry completely before adding the straps.
