The center vertical lines in front and back provide unique artistic style, breaking up horizontal lace lines. This poncho-like garment is made by knitting two rectangular panels using the yarn held double, and seaming the shoulders connects the panels.
The width of the top is one size, and there are three different lengths to choose from.
The original pattern was using the Cotton Fine yarn. Since Cotton Fine yarn was discontinued, the pattern is updated with Cotton Air. If you have Cotton Fine yarn, you can use updated pattern without any change.
