Feathery Dunes is a slightly cropped playful warm weather top with rather unusual construction.
The main portions of Back and Front are worked from the top-down beginning with the lace yoke. Then it continues down to the hem with gradual increases, gracefully making an A- silhouette.
The side panels are worked from picked up stitches sideways along with strips.
And finally, the sides are grafted with the Kitchener stitch, and strips are seamed.

The lace stitch motifs are both charted and written.
