Introducing our stylish and close-fitting top, perfect for those delightful late Spring and early Summer days! This unique design features charming polka dots and elegant vertical stripes that capture the essence of the season. The top utilizes a Channel Island cast on at the rib and neck edge, adding a touch of sophistication and extra interest to your knitting project. One of the standout features is the deep keyhole opening in the back—no more struggling to pull this top over your head and risking that carefully applied makeup!

We've also designed the ribbing to be generous in width, ensuring comfort without a fully stretched fit. The playful polka dots are created using intarsia technique, worked in separate lengths of contrasting yarn, eliminating the hassle of bobbins. The background yarn is cleverly carried across the back of each dot for a seamless finish. As you work on the bodice, remember to maintain an even tension to make those stripes look their absolute best.

For those who manage two yarns—one in each hand—ensure that you consistently carry the same yarn above the other on both the right and wrong side rows. This will prevent any unevenness in your stripes and result in a beautifully finished piece. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this top will make a fabulous addition to your wardrobe, showcasing your creativity and knitting skills. Don't miss out on this delightful knitting pattern that blends style and comfort!
