Vintage Patterns: Summer top speed knit

Please note:

Recent changes (a 70% increase) to the UK postage rates for printed papers sent outside the UK have meant that the price of a pattern for overseas buyers is now about 80% of the cost of the item. I can only apologise for this as I have simply transparently passed the increase on to the buyer. The only mitigation I can offer is to ensure a reduction of excess postage for multiple items shipped together.

Description: Eighties cotton summer sun-top knitted from side to side in a chunky yarn, which makes it quick to knit. Original is an acrylic fluffy yarn but you can get cotton chunky yarn for example at Black Sheep Wools (always good for a bargain). However take care with the wool quantities if substituting - these acrylic yarns can have double the yardage (or more) compared with a pure cotton ball of the same weight.
