Noelia
Noelia is an allover lace crop top, knit bottom-up in the round on circular needles. Stitches are placed on-hold for the straps and knitted flat. Finally, the back and front straps are joined using a 3 needle bind off on each side.
Although the lace pattern may look complicated if you have not knit lace before, it is fairly intuitive, with charts for the straps and the body and instructions on how to read the charts.

Sizes 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 have not been tested as I could not find testers for these sizes. If you purchase and knit the pattern for these sizes please accept this caveat. If you would like to test knit in these sizes, or your size does not fall within the published range: please contact me at crescknits@gmail.com and we can work something out.
