Tolner Light is an asymmetrical top with an offset lace panel on the front, complimented by simple stockinette stitch on the back. It’s a lighter weight version of Tolner. The Leaf Lace panel creates a beautiful organic scalloped edge at hem and neckline. This top is worked in the round from the bottom edge to the armholes. The front and back are then worked back and forth in rows to the shoulders. Stitches are cast on for the armhole slip st edges. Cap sleeves are shaped with increases outside of Leaf Lace panel. Tolner Light is designed with no shaping in the Leaf Lace Pattern Stitch!
