So, here’s a lady’s top that has the option to be worn open poncho-style or closed with laces up the sides. The pattern is worked from the bottom front up to the boatneck-style opening and down to the back hem. There is no shaping, so it is easy and relaxing to knit. And simple openwork adds detail to provide a little fun. Enjoy.
