The Roxy Top
This piece is simple. Made in 4 pieces, 2 identical front and back panels and 2 identical sleeve panels; you will find it is easy to work up!
You might notice the sleeves are a bit different than what you might normally see on a top like this.
I wanted there to be a nice contrast between the body of the sweater and the sleeve. I created a long ribbing piece which gives a more contoured effect to the top of the arm but then flairs out the farther down the arm you get.
I also knew I wanted to work lace into my designs this year and this to was the perfect option!
Taking a simple, ivory lace I added this to the underside of the top. After finishing the lace I knew it was the right decision. It is a simple detail but allows the sweater to look even more feminine
I base my designs on the of the standard body measurement chart provided by the Craft Yarn Council.
Once you determine your bust size, you can choose which size would best fit you!
A little explanation of the fit:
The Roxy Top is a box-shaped sweater. It is great for providing a flattering fit for women of all shapes and sizes. I know we all have a little something we would like to hide and this top helps you accomplish that!
With the added lace detailing you get a wonderful, feminine flair. The lace is also something that takes this top from “handmade” to “oh my!”.
The sleeves are an oversized (length) ribbed cuff and help to break up the textures in the sweater.
The gauge for this sweater is 16sts X 20rows = 4” squared
The pattern will be written: XS(S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)
