This simple top has a little bit of lace detailing under the arms and at the hem. You may choose to adjust the depth of the hem lace to your liking. It shows off a beautiful tonal yarn but isn’t so complex that the lace would be lost in a variegated! This round-neck, raglan-sleeved top needs no finishing aside from weaving ends and is very beginner-friendly!
