Amelia Summer Top is a lighter, more summery version of the Amelia Blouse. This breezy top is worked in the round from the bottom up, starting with the decorative lace pattern, in which colors can be added. The body part is worked in stockinette stitch and is followed by decreases and the i-cord straps that are tied to a bow in the back. Conveniently, the straps are adjustable, so little one will be able to enjoy this piece for a very long time.
