Bandon-by-the-Sea is a perfect top for warmer weather and to wear over jeans, short or a skirt. The yoke lace is echoed in the gentle shirt-tail hemline and sleeve finishing. Choose either short sleeves as shown in sample photos or ¾ length sleeve option included in instructions.

This top is worked top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner with a nice balance between stockinette stitch and lace work. It starts with a lacy circular yoke that transitions into raglan seams for best fit. The lace is an easy one to learn and memorize. Both chart and written instructions for the lace are included.

This design really shows off hand-dyed yarns and will look great in any DK yarn with good drape. A linen blend is perfect for warmer weather or to layer under a jacket or sweater as weather in cooler weather.

Inspiration: Bandon or “Bandon-by-the-Sea” is a quintessential town on the southern Oregon Coast complete with beautiful beaches, a lighthouse, incredible viewpoints, and even a golf course. It was named after Bandon in County Cork in Ireland by an Irish immigrant.
