Skill level 4 (of 5)

A romantic, trendy top for the summer and for special occasions, Flora contains a well-fitting smocked stockinette bodice and a beautiful lace pattern.

At the upper edge of the bodice, a small lacy edging is added later. The straps are crocheted. The smocked effect is created by slip stitches worked across the knitted fabric.
Swatching is necessary to ensure a good fit around the chest.

The lace pattern is fully charted!

Required crochet skills: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet (UK: double crochet), double crochet (UK: treble crochet).

To protect your bare shoulders against a chill, combine the top with the matching shawl Flora.
