Pitsineuleinen tunikatoppi - translated

 I fell in love with this pattern after spying it on Ravelry, but unfortunately it was written in Finnish.  Using my knitting-know-how and the wonders of Google Translator, I have come up with an English Translation.

Please note:
I did NOT create this pattern, nor am I profiting in any way by posting this translation.  As always, this pattern and the image to the left are copyrighted to the original creator.

I claim no responsibility for errors in the original pattern.  Errors in my translation, however, are another story :)
