Marigold top

Discover the Marigold Top, a beautifully crafted light cotton-wool top that's perfect for summer knitting projects. This easy-to-follow pattern offers a delightful experience for knitters of all skill levels, particularly beginners looking to explore the world of lace knitting. Knit in the round from the bottom up, the Marigold Top is constructed seamlessly until reaching the armholes, where you'll split the front and back to work them separately. This approach not only enhances your knitting skills but also results in a chic and stylish garment.

The upper body of the Marigold Top features a stunning delicate diagonal lace pattern that lends an airy and ethereal quality, making it an ideal piece for warm weather. This intricate lace design is beautifully mirrored by a small eyelet pattern at the lower border, creating a harmonious and eye-catching finish. The straight shape of the lower body, without any waist shaping, ensures a relaxed, comfortable fit, allowing for ease and freedom of movement in the upper body.

To complete the top, the edges of the sleeves and neckline are meticulously finished by picking up stitches and knitting two purled rounds, giving the Marigold Top a polished look. This pattern is designed for newer knitters who are eager to take on a new challenge with knitting lace, as it provides detailed descriptions and a helpful chart to guide you through the upper section of the body.
