Enjoy this pattern. Do me a favor and add the pattern to your faves. If you do knit one, be sure to post pics on a project page.

I created mine with a Yarnz2go knit kit which are on sale with a 40% savings

The “Side aways” top is just so lovely in coordinating colors. It’s an easy fit with plenty of room, style and comfort. Slightly asymmetrical, due to the use of two needle sizes.

My 36” sample is knitted with 2 Lofty skeins by Yarnz2go, though this can also be a great using your stash projects with light weight yarns.

The fully written pattern also offers a chart for the eyelet pattern repeats, plus options are given for an adjustable neckline and how long or short your armhole seams should/could be.

For bust sizes ranging from: 34/36”, 38/40”, 42/44”, 46/48”, 50/52” in inches or 91/102/112/122/132 in cm.
