Minuet

Introducing a beautifully designed and softly draping top that features an elegant A-line lace body. This top is tailored to be closely fitting around the bust while providing a generous fit over the hips, making it flattering for various body types. The eye-catching design includes bell-shaped lace sleeves that add a touch of whimsy and style. The versatility of this pattern allows for customization, as both the body and sleeve lengths can be easily adjusted. Simply alter the number of repeats in the 12-row lace pattern, but don’t forget to account for extra yarn if you decide to lengthen it.

The construction of this top is thoughtfully crafted, with the body worked in the round up to the armholes. After reaching the armholes, the Front and Back are then worked flat, while the sleeves are also completed flat. This technique not only provides an engaging knitting experience but also ensures a great fit and finish.

The lace pattern, while stunning, is surprisingly simple to execute, making it perfect for novice knitters looking to expand their skills. It begins with four rows of garter stitch, followed by an easy-to-follow structure of alternating pattern rows and plain rows, repeated four times. This combination provides an excellent opportunity to learn the ins and outs of lace knitting without overwhelming complexity.
