This pattern is a variation on a V-neck top I've made previously. This pattern has a lattice crochet work hem and uses Paintbox DK Cotton yarn. This cotton yarn makes for a great summer top. This top is worked in one long continuous row that folds over to create the front and back panels. You will chain and skip stitches to make a seamless neckline.
