Delight in this well fitting feminine summer staple. The wide square neckline shows off collarbones, while the lace alludes to a v-neckline. The lace and scallops on the hem and cuffs mirrors that of the neckline for a cute and cohesive top. The shoulders and the sleeve caps have been meticulously shaped with short rows, making this set-in sleeve a dream to wear.

Construction:
Worked top down seamlessly. The shoulders are shaped with short rows. The back and fronts are worked flat to the underarm, the body and sleeves are worked in the round. The sleeve cap is carefully shaped with short rows. Finally, the lace trims are knit in the round separately and attached to the body and sleeves with a 3 needle bind-off.
