Experience Level: Advanced Beginner

An awesome poolside or beach project, Breezy is an easy-to-knit summer layering piece. A simple lace panel stretches across the shoulders and neck and adds a little flair to the bottom edge, too. This top looks perfect layered over a tank dress or on top of a shell/tank with jeans.

Construction Details
The top is made with two identical pieces. The body is worked from side-to-side and then stitches are picked up along the bottom to create the bottom lace border.

Techniques Necessary
• Cast on/bind off
• Knit
• Purl
• Lace (k2tog and YO)
• Picking up stitches
• Mattress Stitch seaming
