La Masque Top

La Masque is a lightweight summer top using a lace weight linen/silk blend, combining stocking stitch and lace techniques to create a beautiful and elegant yoke panel.

The top is worked from the top down, with the section before the lace worked back and forward, to create a key hole opening which is fastened by a hook and eye or any other preferred method. Short rows are added to shape the neckline and the lace design is worked in the round. The sleeves and body are separated and worked top to bottom.

The body has shaping, creating a swing shift effect. In addition, increases are worked for a gentle A-line shape.

The body can be any length and the instructions show where the length can be added.
