Scarlet Top

**Scarlet Top** "Scarlet" is a lace summer top featuring a vertical lace pattern, softly scalloped edges, and a subtle square neckline. The front can be finished with either buttons or a lace-up cord. The lace pattern itself functions as the buttonholes, allowing you to switch between both options without modifying the garment. The top is worked flat from the bottom up. At the armholes, the work is divided into the back and fronts, which are completed separately. The shoulders are shaped with short rows for a comfortable fit. **The pattern includes eight sizes** to fit bust circumferences from 76 to 120 cm. **Yarn:** * Scarlet by Permin (50 g / 150 m; 58% linen, 16% cotton, 26% viscose).
