Knitting pattern for Fryd Top

Fryd is one of our most popular summer tops but we love it just as much the rest of the year! Wear it as alight slipover over a T-shirt or shirt, or as a soft, warm base layer. The top is designed to fit close to the bodywith approximately 5 cm / 2 inches of negative ease, meaning it is 5 cm / 2 inches smaller than your actual bustmeasurement, creating an elegant and feminine fit.

The top is worked from the bottom up and features a charming lace pattern that creates a beautifully wavy hemline. The armholes and V-neck are finished with a neat i-cord edge, and the straps are discreetly joined at the shoulders.
