As for how I finished the bottom, I used a picot hem. To do this you simply knit the top to the length you desire and then work a round of k2tog, yo repeating until you finish the round. You then knit 4 rounds followed by binding off. After you bind off you will fold your hem up and whipstitch the bound off edge to the underside of the top. The yo's are what make the cute little bumps along the hem. I hope this helps you out some. This <a href="http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/Picot_Hem" rel="nofollow">link</a> has a great tutorial and is similar to what I just mentioned. Thanks again for the nice comment!

I just saw the lovely top that you knitted and would like to know how you finished off the bottom edge. It looks very nice and does not "roll" as in the original pattern. Thank you. Hello.

I will have to mark the page for when my knitting time comes round again, June-ish. Very cute! I will have to mark the page for when my knitting time comes round again, June-ish.
