Pinelace Top

*This is a knitting pattern download, not the purchase of the product shown in the photo.
 
The delicate carved swirls and pinecones adorning the ancient stone pillars of Santa Maria Blanca chapel in Toledo Spain inspired the details on this beautiful lacy top. But you only need to peek into a pine forest to appreciate the way light plays through needles and cones, dappling and lacing across your cool skin. Worked bottom up and featuring a mock ribbed neck, this top is an easy shape, with an intricate design. It’s soft, but eye-catching and truly versatile for wearing alone, or under a jacket. As usual, we have your size!
