VELMA is a boxy top with button details on the waist and sleeve. This accessible, beginner-friendly pattern allows you to create several styles by adding the collar or removing the sleeves. It is designed to be worn in different ways. You can wear the boxy cut fitted, softly hugging your arms and waist. For a light version, leave the sleeves out and use a neckband instead of a collar. For a true statement look, choose big, contrasting buttons!
