A Little Summer Somethin'

The beauty of this pattern is in its simplicity and adaptability. It is essentially a basic top-down raglan, but only the back and sleeves involve raglan increases; the front starts with the total number of stitches already. This gives the neckline a nice drape. Elegant, but also versatile! Use a textured yarn, maybe work in a lace pattern, lengthen the sleeves, or perhaps use a lace-weight at a bulky gauge for a gauzy top – whatever you like!
