Lace Tunic, Lace Top and Lace Crop Top in Summer

This top is worked flat in two separate pieces from the bottom-up. The back panel is mostly worked in moss (seed) stitch, with a 1x1 rib hem at the bottom. The front panel is mostly worked in a lace repeat, with a 1x1 rib hem at the bottom. Once both panels are complete, they are seamed together at the sides and shoulders. Stitches are picked up from around the neckline, and a 1x1 rib neckband is worked in the round. This top can be made in 3 different lengths.

There are three options for the length of the top - tunic, top and crop top.
