I do love a silk top in the spring through fall, and Spring Lake is the newest one in my collection. Simple lace and a subtly shifting colorway add to its wearability. This is knit in the round to the underarms, and you can customize the depth of your lace hem and body length.

Length: 1313.5, 14, 14, 14.5, 15 inches from cast on to underarm

Needles: US #5/3.75mm circular needle, 32 inches or longer for the body of the top (larger sizes may prefer a longer needle), and your preferred method to knit small circumferences in the round.
