Aral Top
PDF PATTERN
Aral is a top-down raglan summer top worked seamlessly in the round Purl ridges and a fake side seam compensate for the tendency of this fiber to bias.
Inspired by classic ‘marinière’ t-shirts, it features an open front button neck, pretty stripes, and picot edgings at the neckband and hem.
When purchasing the Aral Top you get two patterns in one- one has a button-front opening and the other a boat-neck, beginner-friendly, seamless construction.
Download includes both the Spanish and English version of the pattern.
