Cool and comfortable even as the weather heats up, Carina is a breezy top with an easy dropped-shoulder style and beautiful lace at the hem. Worked in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, the front and back are then completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Cap sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and worked down in the round with lace hems. Valley Yarns Granville is a smooth and soft yarn that combines Pima Cotton with a touch of Merino wool to create a great yarn for warm-weather garments such as this. Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
