Cavatina is an A-line modified halter top with interlacing back straps and eyelet lace panels running up both sides. The construction is seamless and worked bottom-up using Kitchener stitch to join the straps.

The pattern provides instructions for fingering weight and sport weight yarn. Both options are included in the pattern.
