This top has a deep lace hem and lace at the sleeves, using a contrasting color for extra punch. This light and breezy lacy top is made from a lightweight blend, so it’s great for spring through fall. Use one color or many on your stripes!

Yarn: Chaos Fiber Co. Tonal Deluxe, 75/25 Superwash Merino/Nylon; 460 yards per 100 grams 2(2, 2, 2, 3, 3,) skeins and a small amount (perhaps 1 ounce) of contrast yarn; I used Olive Mix for the main and Stellar’s Jay as my contrast color. If you use indie yarn without dye-lots, you may wish to alternate skeins of the main color throughout the body of the garment.

Needles: US Size 4/3.5mm circular needle, 24 inches or longer (larger sizes may prefer a longer needle) and your preferred method to knit small circumferences in the round. Or size to make gauge. Each knitter is different! Knit and wet-block a swatch in the round.
