The Coloratura Lace Top features a delicate shell stitch in a
range of colors that is set against a solid accent color. This
top makes a sophisticated addition to your summer wardrobe.
The size and colors are easily adjustable.

The top is worked from the bottom up, initially in the round
and then in rows for the front and back of the chest, which
are identical rectangles. Finally, the front and back are
joined at each shoulder, creating a boat neck. The top
features a four-row lace repeat alternating with two rows of
solid double crochet.

The pattern uses one main color and several different accent
colors.
