Introducing a delightful summery knitting pattern that features intricate inset lacy panels beautifully contrasted by a background of reverse stocking stitch. This design includes just a touch of shaping, providing a gentle ease from the lower edge to just under the bust—very flattering for all body types! The underarm shaping on the yoke creates a semi-dolman look, ensuring that the garment is comfortable and not clingy. The sleeves are thoughtfully designed with a center rib panel, ensuring a snug yet neat fit. This pattern incorporates a top-down construction, making it an accessible choice for knitters of all levels.

To fit bust sizes: 30-32 [34-36: 38-40: 42-44: 46-48: 50-52] inches.

Actual size before sleeve shaping measures: 29½ [33¾: 37½: 41¾: 45¼: 49½] inches.

Length to shoulder shaping, approximately: 26 [26½: 27: 27½: 28: 28¾] inches.

Sleeve length: All sizes measure (7½ inches).
