Adeline Top Junior 2603-03 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Adeline Top Junior is a lightweight summer top for children, worked from the bottom up with delicate lace detailing and an i-cord tie at the waist. The pretty openwork, neat double-knitted front bands and adjustable waist tie give it a beautifully finished look.

The top begins at the hem and is worked back and forth following the lace chart, with eyelets created at the waist for the i-cord tie. The work is then divided for the back and fronts, with decreases shaping the armholes and neckline. The shoulder straps are joined using knitted stitches, before the double-knitted front bands and i-cord tie are worked to finish.

Please note: This is a written knitting pattern, but the lace pattern is worked from a chart.
