Mia – Light Summer Top Knitting Pattern (XS–5XL) – PDF

Light as a cloud, enveloping as mohair. Mia is the top that seems to float — and that you won't want to take off.

Mia is a light, seamless summer top worked from the top down with the contiguous shoulder construction. A waterfall of increases in the body and sleeves creates an elegant bell shape. Worked in lace-weight yarn on 6 mm needles for a soft, cloud-like fabric. Short rows raise the back for a better fit. DK-weight yarn is added at the hem and cuffs.

The pattern comes in 9 sizes, from XS to 5XL. Direct links to video tutorials for special techniques are included.
