The Laceback Top is designed with a positive ease of ca. 6cm / 2 1/4” around the bust and has a slight waist shaping. It is not fitted, with a relatively high waist. This top is a classic summer top with a stunning low back.. There are charts for the lace, which is worked on RS rows only.

The top is knitted seamlessly, starting at the bottom. Front and back are started flat and are joined into the round after a few rows, featuring a beautiful and eye-catching side seam. Back lace is started using kfb-stitches. 2-stitch I-cords at the neckline and armholes give a perfect finish, so there is no picking-up of stitches necessary.
