Inspired by a 1940s design, I added waist shaping and worked this top in the round from the hem up. After dividing for the armholes, add a few stitches for vertically worked rib edging. Short-rows are used to shape the shoulders, and shoulders are joined using 3-Needle BO.
The lace pattern on the front begins while still working in the round, and the lace pattern on the back begins after the armholes are started.
