Introducing our beautiful and delicate lace top, perfect for the budding knitter! This charming top features set-in sleeves and a stunning lace section, skillfully knitted in one piece. The elegant lace drapes gracefully over the hips, creating a flattering silhouette that starts just under the bust. The bodice of this garment is crafted in garter stitch, artfully shaped over the bust with strategically placed darts and short-row shaping for an impeccable fit. We provide detailed knitting directions for the lace portion in both written and chart formats, making it easy to follow for even relative novices in lace knitting. The design is not only stylish but also customizable—both the body and sleeve lengths can be adjusted effortlessly by altering the number of 12-row pattern repeats to suit your personal preference. Please note that the original yarn used for this pattern has been discontinued; however, it’s comparable to 3-ply (UK) or fingering (US) yarn, with an approximate gauge of 30 wraps per inch. We recommend considering a suggested substitution based on weight and composition, though please be aware that this alternative has not been tested with this particular garment. If you choose to substitute, we strongly advise checking your tension to ensure the best results. This versatile lace top pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a wearable piece.
