This pattern now has written out directions for the lace portion so you don’t have to be able to read charts to make this lovely design!

Paired with a close-fitting undertop or all by itslef, this year-round top is sure to please. A flattering fit is obtained by the unique construction of this top: the body is knit sideways in a tradtional Victorian-era lace-edging pattern and then the bodice is knit in the round, making the slight capping on the shoulder and a face flattering squared neckline.

As fun to wear as it is beautiful to look at … this top is also easy care as it’s made with machine-washable cotton-acrylic yarn.

Sample is knit with Knit Picks Comfy Fingering … 75% pima cotton/25% acrylic … in Peony (a gorgeous raspberry!)
