This summer top features columns of an arch lace stitch on the front body, paired with cap sleeves worked in a mesh lace stitch. The round-necked top has waist shaping, and is edged in garter stitch.

The design has been knitted here in Sirdar’s Summer Linen yarn, which offers a wonderful drape, a lightweight fabric and excellent stitch definition. It is machine-washable, and you can choose from six pastel colours, cranberry and a Breton blue.
