Crochet lacework is the perfect opportunity to play with
negative space. The motifs in this top are counterbalanced
by light and airy chain lace, making a draped layering piece.

Solid squares worked in DC in the round are connected by an
intricate-looking chain lace that’s easy to execute in a join-asyou-
go technique. A ribbed edging finishes it off once all the
motifs are joined.

All sizes will make 30 motifs. Choose the appropriate hook
size for finished bust size. Each size will complete a different
number of total rounds to achieve the final motif size needed.
