Kormorebi summer top - a delightful addition to your knitting adventures!

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese term for sunlight filtering through tree leaves, this top-down racerback design boasts a beautiful lace pattern. You’ll have the freedom to place the lace on the front, back, or both, embracing your unique vision.

Pattern workflow:
Komorebi top is worked from the top down in the round. First the neckband is worked in the round. The back and front are worked separate back and forth, with an I-cord edging, then join in the round for the body. Ended with a ribbed knitted hem, and tubular bind off. There are lace pattern instructions for both front and back as well as a plain front and back.
