The Girona top is inspired by the city in Catalunya (Spain) that my husband and I visit every year when we go to see his family.

CONSTRUCTION
This color-blocked summer top is knit bottom-up in two pieces, then seamed together at the sides. The shoulders are connected by a 3-needle bind off, and it contains a lace edging on either the back or front (depending on how it’s worn!). Did I mention it’s reversible?!
