Journey Girl Basic SC Short Sleeved Top

This cute top is made using sc. It has a tighter look than the JG Basic DC Short Sleeve Top. The sleeves and bottom are edged with a lacy stitch, which can be substituted with plain sc if desired.

*The top is worked from the top down, turning after every row.
*Work all sc in row 1 in the back ridge of the loop for a more finished look at the neck edge.
*The first row is the right side.
