What you need to know

Anniken Allis' pretty lacy top is much easier than it looks!

Ooh, wouldn’t this be a stylish addition to your knitwear wardrobe? We love the decorative shoulder detail and if you haven’t tried lace before, this is the perfect opportunity. The top is knitted in a DK weight yarn, so it’s easy to see your stitches and there’s no shaping on the lace section at all. The sleeves are the dolman style, which means they’re knitted in one piece with the body so that’s two seams fewer to sew!
