I have created a warm weather top with above elbow-length sleeves and simple yoke shaping with the added bonus of not a purl stitch in sight.

The rolled neckline is the same front and back and once past the yoke increases, a very easy knit with no further body shaping.

Written in one size only to suit a bust measurement of 85cm to 110cm (34” to 43”), with positive ease decreasing the larger the bust. No gauge given due to the stretch of the mesh.

All increases/decreases are worked on stocking stitch (stockinette) rounds and you may follow either the written instructions OR chart for the lace.

Though originally worked in cotton I will be interested to see projects made in other fibres.
