Baby Nicole
Summertime is even sweeter with a breezy tank. This lace top is worked all in one piece: body is worked top-down from a provisional cast-on, making it easy to add extra length if desired. Bodice is worked from the bottom up simplifying armhole and neckline shaping. Back features delicate button closures for an easy fit over baby’s head. Pattern is written for advanced beginning level knitters ready to try basic increases and decreases and an easy written lace repeat. Elizabeth is modeling Size 6 months with approximately 2”/5 cm positive ease styled with her Ruffle Shorties (pattern sold separately).
