Make a Lace Top Worth Wearing All Summer You already know the feeling: a beautiful knit sits in your queue for months because nothing quite fits what you were looking for. This one delivers — a V-neck sleeveless top with a flattering button front and an all-over lace body that wears light and looks anything but simple. The lace is more approachable than it looks. Wrong-side rows are all purled, and every row comes with both written and charted instructions so you always have a reference that suits the way you work. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: Bust 33.25" to 66.25" (XXS to 5XL), worn with approximately 1.5" positive ease. Body length from underarm: 10.5". Available in 12 sizes from XXS to 5XL, with size-specific lace charts for the fronts so your version is correctly proportioned from the start. The lace is worked flat with all wrong-side rows purled, which keeps the stitch reading manageable even across multiple pattern repeats. A clean ribbed hem and double-knitted button bands give the finished top a structured, wearable shape rather than the limp edge you get from simpler finishes.
