Top for hot and lazy summer days!
Lungomare means ‘‘Along the beach’’!

Skip or add lace-rounds to achieve everything from bikini-top, to a long tank top.
The cups are easy to work, and have a good fit for most women.
The cups are worked with linked dcs (Ldc) to avoid gaps between the stitches. No lingerie or lining is required, as the linked double crochet creates a dense fabric that is not see-through.

The shell-pattern is worked in the round to the bra-edge, top/down.
Stitch chart also for a flat piece, to optional closing of the top on its side, or in the back.
Good luck!
