PATTERN NOTES
Light, elegant, and perfect for warm-weather wear, this seamless summer top is the ideal blend of comfort and sophistication. Worked from the top down, it begins with a beautifully detailed lace panel across the yoke that adds both texture and charm. The back is knit first to the underarm, followed by the front, with both pieces then joined and worked in the round for a smooth, uninterrupted finish.

A shallow neckline is shaped with subtle short rows for a flattering fit, while the dropped sleeves and gently curved waist shaping add ease and femininity to the silhouette.

Knit in breathable, textured bourette silk, this top offers a soft drape and a rustic elegance ideal for long summer days and effortless layering.
