Dress up a favorite top or camisole with this easy, stylish lace weight cover top. The rolled boat neck and dropped is countered by a lacy hem that weights the large-gauge stockinette body with a sport weight garter band. Knit with a 4-inch positive ease in four sizes.

This top is knit from the bottom up in two identical pieces, seamed from hem to desired arm hole, and Kitchenered at the shoulders.
