Sizes for this top go up to an adult size 2x! It is very flattering! A comment from the model’s mother (at the photo shoot) was “This top looks like something that would be in Victoria’s Secret Magazine!” It is worked from side to side in the back loop only which allows the top to stretch and hug your body. If you do not like the fitted look, it’s very easy to add more rows so it will be looser. Fun textured Bobble stitches are added to the shoulders to give it a “puffed sleeve” look.
The blue sweater was the one my 16 year old pattern tester made. The instructions for the size xsmall will also fit a girl size 14-16 very well. (as seen on the girl in the lower photo)
