Summer is almost upon us and
this top is just perfect for the weather. I haven’t seen some of my friends
since lockdown started last year and we have decided to meet for dunch soon, so
I decided to make a top I had previously made but in gold. This top can be worn
up for day time or down for evening so perfect for dunch. It’s very easy and
quick to make and the use of lace yarn make it look class and exquisite.
The video tutorials can be found
on my YouTube channel here:
Please read the pattern
carefully as you may miss some important steps which may affect the outcome of
your project.

Finished Sizes
All sizes see how to get the
measurements below.
How
to take measurements
Measure the size of your bust
divide by two and add 4 inches (10cm)
For example if bust is 34
inches (86cm), then your calculation will be
(34/2)+4 =21 inches or
(86/2)+4 = 47cm
To begin make a chain based on
the calculation above in multiples of 4
Gauge
24Rows =10cm (4”)
24Stitches = 10cm (4”)
