Karen Top

The top is worked in organic cotton. It is loose-fitting in a simple style, with deep armholes and a rounded neckline. The lace pattern provides lightness to the cotton.
The Karen Top is worked from the bottom on circular needles. At the armholes it is divided into front and back. The neck edge is added at the end.
The pattern is easy – it is entirely knit sts, and you get the effct from knitting the stitch from the previous row. The top is seamless.
