PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

To knit this top, you need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl, place stitches on hold, pick up and resume stitches, make increases, make decreases, use lace techniques, and bind off stitches. It is essential to know how to read charts, as instructions for knitting lace motifs are given only in chart form. 

CONSTRUCTION

This top is knitted in one piece starting from the shoulders, from which stitches will then be picked up to continue with the rest of the body. The body is knitted flat on both the front and back until below the armholes, where the front and back are joined to continue knitting in the round. The sleeves are knitted in the round.
