A hand-knitted short-sleeve top showcasing an elegant all-over lace pattern with beautiful texture and drape.
Designed with a classic round neckline and neatly finished ribbed edges, it offers a refined yet relaxed silhouette.
Light and breathable, this timeless piece is perfect for warm days and effortless layering, highlighting the care and craftsmanship of hand knitting.

If you prefer a different look, without the lace, it can also be made with a cable-only pattern, offering the same timeless shape with a more classic and textured finish.

This garment is designed to be worn with 2 to 4 inches positive ease.

The construction of this garment is simple.
It is worked in the round from the bottom up, without waist shaping.
It is then divided into front and back that will be worked flat, separately.
Shoulders are joined using 3 needles Bind-Off.
The garment is then finished with 2x2 ribbing around the neck and sleeves edges.
