Savour every stitch with this little lace top and rekindle your love for knitting. Begin with a bang, knit a spectacular lace edging, add a sprinkle of bobbles and even as you settle into a rhythm of lovely lace columns interspersed with gentle stockinette, you’ll find you’re done! Add a dash of lace at the neck and the sleeves and you’re ready to rock your next outing.

The body of this top is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarm, then the front and back are worked separately back and forth. The shoulders are joined by 3-needle bind off. Stitches are picked up around the armholes and neck for ribbing. Pattern uses German short rows but other short row techniques will work just as well.

The lace pattern is both written and charted.
