Rēsu summer top with beautiful lace pattern

The summer is near, and it is time to knit the top for showing off those brown shoulders and for balmy evenings. The top is designed to be a little short in the body, but you can easily add extra inches / centimetres to the length, so it gets exactly the length you want. Rēsu means lace in Japanese… and this is Önling’s contribution to the lace top for the upcoming summer. It is knitted in two strands Önling No 12 or two strands Önling No 14, on needle size 6 / US 10, so it is a top you can knit quickly - the biggest problem is to choose between the many beautiful colors the yarn comes in.

Procedure
Cast on using an Italian cast-on and knit around, from the bottom up. First knit 3 cm / 11⁄4 inch in rib. Then continue in stockinette in the sides and lace pattern mid front and mid back up to the armhole. Now cast on 3 new sts and bind off for the armhole with an i-cord at each side. Bind off for the neck mid front and knit each front piece separately, ending in a strap.
The back is knitted further up and then the neck is bound off, after which each shoulder is completed separately, ending in a strap.
The straps are knit together on each shoulder.
