The gorgeous golden silk yarn inspired me to knit something for summer, and I designed this top with lace and short sleeves. I named the knit “Summer Sand Elegance.”
The yoke is knitted in the round using circular needles from the top center back down. You can optionally knit short rows at the neck for a better fit. The yoke is then divided for the front and back pieces and the sleeves. The front and back pieces are knitted in the round using circular needles from the top down. The sleeves are knitted with shorter circular needles from the top down.
