Turkish Delight: I really love Turkish Stitch. For one thing, it’s a really easy stitch pattern with just one row repeated over and over. It’s easy for people who are new to lace knitting, and the open pattern it produces just screams summer to me. The original idea with this design was to make a beachy bathing suit cover, but I think this top would be great away from the beach or the pool just with a simple tank top underneath as well.

It fits a teenager or small woman (remember, it stretches some). To make the work larger, cast on two more stitches on each piece for each inch larger you’d like the finished piece to be.

This pattern was on About.com (which no longer exists) and has been deleted from their site, but for now it can still be found on the Internet Archive. They redirect and delete pages a lot so you may want to download/print to save.
