DESCRIPTION

The #Lovistop is a summery top that features – as well as the beautiful drape of the linen-blend yarn - some pretty lace details at the neck, cuffs and hem. At the hem you can choose to play with a contrast colour, or make a single-colour top. It’s a very simple lace pattern that I highly recommend for lace-knitting beginners.
The effect is high but the effort is not. Just an easy-to-remember simple to remind repeat of the same round of knit stitches, yarn overs and centered double decreases.

The pattern is techedited and testknit approved.
