Notes From the Designer:
•I'm a big fan of comfy, oversized tees, but that doesn't mean they have to be frumpy. A simple lace pattern in the bodice and drop sleeves adds a feminine touch and keeps this top from becoming boring.
•This is a great piece for beginner garment knitters as there is no waist or sleeve shaping, and minimal neck shaping. The front and back pieces are knit flat and seamed, with stitches picked up and worked in the round for the neck and sleeve trim.
•Rated for adventurous beginners and up. This pattern uses simple increases and decreases for the lace section, three-needle bind off for the shoulders, and your preferred seaming method for the side seams. The pattern includes links to videos for the lace section, seaming and the three-needle bind off technique.
•Click the Videos to learn more about this pattern and to watch a demonstration of the lace section.

great pattern
lovely pattern for the summer clear instructions
Hadi
Lovely top. This will be my first try at knitting a top.
Hadi
This is a beginner friendly knitted top with minimal seaming. I’m using 3 skeins of the Oopsy Cashsilk yarn that I got at a discount and it’s coming along great! Can’t wait to get this top done!
Hadi tee
I narrowed the body a bit, not wanting it too boxy. First time using a three needle bind off, which I really liked. Nice final product and good review of some techniques, such as picking up and knitting for the edges.
Hadi
This top is really cute. I'm hoping to tackle it some day soon.
Hadi
I do like the pattern but did not start working on the sweater right away. The only problem was that I miss-read the sizing chart and started working with a size that was too large for me. I had to rip it out and start from the beginning. Again, that was my fault. Otherwise, I am very pleased with how the sweater is working up. I have not finished so I cannot send a photo but I also did not want you to think that I ignoring your request.
Hadi
Love my sweater. Although the pattern was easy, I did make changes as I knit in the round up to the arm holes. I’m furiously knitting up stash, so I used a speckled yarn on top and solid black on bottom. It is beautiful. Thank you.
Hadi

The math does not work. There is a different version from several years ago with totally different numbers for size and gauge where numbers work. Got initial response but no follow up so far. Can't knit this pattern.

A well written and understandable pattern

Gorgeous, like all of the patterns I've had from Expression Fiber Arts. I'm just in the process of picking the perfect yarn, and then I'll get started. Looking forward to making and wearing this.

I loved. Beautiful
Beautiful easy to make.
Solasta Yarn
This is wonderful yarn, made of wool, cashmere and silk, to hold and create with. I’ve bought the Glacier and Indigo colors. It’s divine!
Re: Hadi
The pattern was good, but a bit confusing. The WYIF purl until end part was the confusing part. Don't you always have the yarn in front when purling? The rest was simple enough, I haven't finished the whole thing yet but it seems easy enough and the picture of the finished product looks very nice.
Hadi
Beautiful pattern!
Hadi Tee
I got this pattern but haven't made it up yet. But it would be a beautiful summer top. I will have to look in my yarn stash to see if I have something I could use. It is beautiful though!

Hadi pattern
This pattern is just what I was looking for to try my hand at making a garment. I really like the bit of lace at the top. Also, knitting the pieces and seaming seems to make it easier. I also bought the suggested yarn in the butter beer colorway.
Hadi
Love the pattern. Bought the yarn. I love everything about expressions yarn
Hadi
Although I don’t have the yarn to make this yet, it looks like a really nice sweater to sink my teeth into. I am hoping to make it in the future. I can see myself making a lot of use of a sweater like this.

This is a beautiful sweater. Thank you for the pattern. I am looking forward to making it. I'll search my EFA stash for some fun fingering yarn.
Excelente!
Lovely! Great pattern!
Hadi
I haven’t started this yet. I’m a beginner and want to try a few more easy patterns first but am looking forward to making this.
Hadi
I am thinking to make this for my granddaughter for her birthday.
Hadi Tee
OOH! This is lovely. Can't wait to dive in this project with some delicious yarns! (Only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is I have trouble determining correct size when you start talking about positive and negative ease. Are the dimensions given the size of the finished garment or the body size?)
