Distant Lights Top

Distant Lights is a loose-fitted sleeveless top, featuring lace motifs on both sides.
The pullover is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarms, then the front and back are worked separately back and forth. Shoulders are sewn together using Kitchener stitch or 3-Needle Bind-Off (optional).
The light weight and the fact that this project is worked in the round will make it a great traveling companion.
