PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. The front and back shoulders are joined using a three-needle bind off. The Slip Stitch Lace Pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

This popover is intended to have an oversized fit with 10-20” of positive ease depending on how you like your garments to fit. Consider the finished measurements to choose a size that gives you the fit you prefer, keeping in mind that larger sizes will fall lower on your arm.

Please note that Size C is written to make the most of 2 skeins. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an extra skein as insurance.
