Important Notes
• This is a digital knitting pattern only.
• No finished top, yarn, knitting needles, crochet hook, or supplies are included.
• The garment is primarily knitted and uses crochet only for the armhole edging.
• The back and front begin with the lower lace pattern before changing to the net stitch sections.
• The front is divided into two overlapping pieces that create the crossover neckline.
• The lower section of the second front half requires additional stitches to be cast on.
• The shoulder extensions are shaped by gradually adding stitches along the sides.
• Lace increases and decreases must remain balanced to preserve the stitch pattern.
• Blocking is recommended before the garment pieces are assembled.
• Finished measurements may vary when different yarn, needles, or tension are used.
