blue by you
Knit yourself a top pretty enough for Southern belle with beautiful blue stripes in a host of lace patterns.

STRIPED LACE PULLOVER
This cropped top is a study in contrasts pulled together by harmonious two-toned coloring: clean stripes versus a variety of frilly laces and an orderly over all horizontal design versus the seemingly “unfinished” hanging lace hem. It’s anything but boring, and you get a chance to work a different lace pattern every alternate stripe.
