Winona Top is a versatile summer top featuring delicate lace details, a flattering V-neck, and wide straps.
It’s designed with soft, intricate lace accents along the central front, underarms and all edges, adding a refined and feminine touch. Depending on your yarn choice, you can create a light, airy camisole – perfect for warm summer days – or a cozy lace top (vest) that works great for cooler midseason weather.
This design works well with your favorite summer yarns such as cotton or linen, as well as with soft wool blends.
Winona Top is a great piece for both city wear and vacation outfits, pairs perfectly with skirts or linen pants and shorts.

Winona Top is worked seamlessly from the top down. You begin by working the back yoke, shaping the shoulders with increases on every row, and continue working to the underarms. Once the back yoke is ready, the left and right front shoulders are picked up separately and V-neck is shaped with increases.
When the V-neck shaping is finished, both fronts are joined together and continue working to the underarms. After, back and front yokes are joined and worked in the round to the hem.
Last touches– finish neckline and armholes with I-cord edges for a more polished look.
The length of the body can be easily adjusted to desired length.
