A classy v-neck top with delicate lace edgings, gentle shaping, and an understated elegant vibe.

Pattern features:
-- Delicate lace edgings, knit separately and attached using a 3-needle bind-off. This creates a neat ridge around the neckline, armholes, and hem, giving the illusion of lace peeking through from underneath.

-- The perfect V-neck - neither too high nor too low. Nothing scandalous, but a pleasant amount of decolletage.

-- Tick sheet for easy keeping track of shaping. The armholes & neck both feature variable increase rates, so each size has a row-by-row tick sheet.
