☀️ Light, lacy and zero seams

The Circle Leaf Lace Summer Top is a simple, chic piece made for easy summer style. It’s worked in one seamless piece in the delicate Circle Leaf Stitch, so it’s light, lacy and a dream to wear.

The relaxed, breezy fit works over a tank or on its own, dressed up or kept casual. It’s part of the Circle Leaf collection of video supported, size inclusive garments that look complex but are a breeze to follow.
