THE GAPTOP …

… is a modern lace slipover that adds a layer of warmth and comfort to every outfit. Through a simple lace pattern a nice textured garment is created. By working the back first and picking up stitches for the front, the lace pattern runs seamlessly over the shoulders. Simple increases made around the neckline and the armholes shape the slipover. Double folded hems worked in stockinette stitch are added later on to contrast the texture of the linear lace pattern.

The perfect layering staple for your wardrobe.
