Assemble:
Join shoulder seams. If you wish a sleevless top, join side seams by stitching sides together until armhole suits you. Go down to trim section to complete neck and sleeve edges.
Sleeve:
If you want a sleeved top, join shoulder seams. Measure 9 inches from the bottom edge. Pick up stitches from this point along side edge past shoulder seam down another 9 inches. Work even in stocking stitch until arm measures five inches. Then work Pattern Number 1, Pattern Number 2, and finally Pattern Number 1 again. Work five rows in stocking stitch. Bind off.
Assemble:
Join side seams and under arm on both sides.
Trim:
Trim neck, sleeve, and bottom edges in picot or lace trim stitches. The sample uses simple Pattern Number 3, but you could use any that suits your fancy.
You can make it cropped by shortening the piece. You can make it VERY lacey by repeating the three patterns for the length of the work.
