Sunset at the Lake Top Pattern

Sunset at the Lake is inspired by those perfectly peaceful moments on the dock, watching the sun set and the scattered clouds light up.  Diagonal knit stitch detailing separates stockinette and wrapped stitch segments, representing the sky above and the lake surface below.  Let yourself drift off to the lakeside; imagine the soft splash of the rippled surface, and maybe even a loon call!

This top is worked from the bottom up, starting with a tall split seam.  The body is worked in the round, separating at the underarm, and rejoining for a seamless shoulder shaping approach combining in the round decreases and a saddle shoulder technique.  Wrapped stitch detailing throughout the top will keep you engaged and creates beautiful texture.  Horizontal and diagonal knit stitch detailing delineate textured segments.  A deep V neckline with optional button detailing completes the top.
