Knit an airy, breathable warm-weather staple with this Cap Sleeve Lace Top, designed specifically for medium weight linen and cotton blends. This digital PDF pattern features delicate lace detailing and a flattering drape, making it an effortless piece for casual layering.

I wore this for the first time and felt like a princess in this lace top. I truly glowed with pride.

Measures: 36 (38, 40, 42) after blocking - It fits with negative ease, so it hugs your torso. (Don’t let it fool you! I’m a 44” bust and I wear the XL blocked to fit)

I updated the cast on/ first knit row in color so following the sizing is easier on the pattern.

The pattern is written out in detail starting by size (color enhanced) with the repeated lace pattern being a 10 stitch repeat. There are selvages used for sewing ease.

The yarn called out is no longer available, but a nice DK cotton tape works up wonderfully. Please do a gauge swatch so you are familiar with the pattern stitch and how your yarn washes up and blocks.

The neckline is deceptively simple.

The bottom photo is a newer design using the same shape but changing the Lace pattern. It’s called the Mermaid Tail top here in Ravelry and uses charts too.
