Cloudburst is a simple boxy tee with all over eyelet patterning in fingering weight yarn. This versatile top can be layered over dresses or worn with a cami underneath and paired with a flowy skirt or jeans.
Construction Details
The top is worked side to side with two identical pieces for the front and back, with stitches cast on provisionally. After working each piece, the front and back are joined together with a 3-needle bind off and sleeves are worked off the remaining stitches. The shoulders are seamed, leaving an opening for the neck. Stitches are picked up along the bottom to create the bottom ribbed border.
