Summer Lace Tank Knitting Pattern

A beautiful, delicate top that’s quick to knit - even in laceweight yarn. The ideal Summer knit, something lightweight that still looks stunning. The lace pattern looks impressive but is simple to knit. This really is a top you can dress up or down. This tank is knit from the top down with a yoked construction. Stitches from the front and back of the yoke make up the body, and extra stitches are cast on at the underarm. The hem and sleeves have an attached i-cord edging to keep everything neat and to stop edges from curling. There are more stitches at the front than the back to provide a better fit and to give a pretty scoop neck. The pattern gives 10 sizes - to fit bust 32 (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 48, 52, 56)“.
