Interestingly textured lace combined with a few cables worked on a stockinette background is a simple description of this top with bracelet length sleeves. The center lace panel is evocative of fluttering butterflies while the lace side panels suggest the movement of their wings through the air (CHART ONLY).

This tunic is worked from the top down using simple raglan construction, which allows for easy customization of the overall length and the length of the vents at the bottom of the tunic.
