Delani

The Delani top is a versatile and stylish garment designed with an easy lace pattern, featuring simple construction and optional sleeves. This loose-fitting top is perfect for any season, allowing you to wear it on its own during warmer days or layer it for added warmth in cooler weather. Recommended yarn choices for this lovely knit include a soft light wool, as showcased in our sample, or a breathable cotton blend that works wonderfully for hot summer temperatures.

The pattern begins with an intricate lace panel that is skillfully knit shoulder-to-shoulder, complete with an integrated i-cord neck edge that adds a polished finish. After completing the lace section, stitches are picked up along the edge to shape elegant armholes, making the garment both functional and flattering. The lower body of the top can be customized to your preference, either worked flat for a classic style or in the round for a more seamless look; detailed instructions for both methods are included to cater to your knitting style. Additionally, an optional three-quarter length sleeve can be added for versatility, creating a perfect top for transitioning between seasons.

Note: This pattern was heavily edited in June 2024 to include additional sizes and update to current formatting standards, ensuring a user-friendly experience for all knitters.
