This is a top that begins with a lace edging at the bottom then stitches are picked up from the edging and worked towards a wide round neckline. The neck is decorated with a narrower version of bottom edging. The top has set-in sleeves with the same edging at the cuffs. In addition, there is clever shaping for the bust area to create a shapely top. The neckline is finished with one round of reverse single crochet (Crab Stitch).
