Rosemary Lace Shell

Rosemary Lace Shell is a lightweight sleeveless top featuring a lace and cable motif inspired by the delicate structure of rosemary branches.

The garment is worked from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round to the underarm, then the front and back are worked flat. The shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off, and the neckline and armholes are finished with simple ribbing.

The lace pattern creates an airy texture that opens up nicely after blocking, making the fabric soft and breathable.

This design works particularly well with lightweight fibers such as yak, cashmere, or Pure linen.

The pattern is written for five sizes (XS–XL) and includes both chart and written instructions for the lace pattern.

Designed with 10–20 cm (4–8 in) of positive ease.
