Introducing our stunning trumpet vine-inspired lightweight top, lovingly referred to as Angel’s Trumpet, perfect for knitters seeking a beautiful and versatile addition to their wardrobe. This fashionable piece is expertly knit from the top (neck) down to the bottom hem, featuring flattering raglan shaping and stylish short sleeves. The faux wrap design combined with a delicate lace pattern adds an elegant touch to the body of the garment, making it suitable for both casual outings and more formal occasions. The neckline is finished with an easy knit-on picot edging, adding a charming detail that showcases your knitting skills.

The sample showcased here is designed in a size 34" with minimal positive ease for a snug fit. However, if you prefer a slightly looser look or wish to use this piece as a stylish layering option, simply choose a size that allows for 1" or more of positive ease. For those who want to customize the shape, consider blocking the lace pattern more severely to create a subtle A-line silhouette. (In our sample, we opted for minimal blocking to retain maximum stretchiness.) Additionally, the torso length of this lovely top is easily adjustable—add more or fewer repeats of the lace pattern to achieve your desired fit.

This knitting pattern is suitable for knitters with intermediate skills, including essential techniques such as knit/purl, working in the round and back and forth, and basic chart-reading skills for the lace section. Whether you are an experienced knitter looking for a new project or a beginner eager to refine your skills, this top will enhance your crafting journey.
