After I finished the Solstice skirt, I realized that I had ordered too much yarn for the project; and since I had the time, I decided to design a matching top. (By the way, Litha is the pagan name for the summer solstice.) Worked in the round, the bottom of the top repeats the Double Eyelet pattern. The back and front are worked flat after the armhole shaping, and they are identical.

The top is wider at the bottom and is cropped. Decreases are placed after the eyelet pattern for bust shaping. If you want it longer, simply work additional rounds after the decreases before the armhole shaping.
