    Pre-order

    The tank top Soleie features a floral Scandinavian lace pattern, symbolising the many beautiful wildflowers blossoming across the region in the summer. Amongst the 1,500 species of the Soleie family, there are engsoleie (buttercup), gulveis (yellow anemone), and blåveis (liverleaf). The top is worked top-down and the looser lace fabric gives it a subtle a-line shape.

    Construction 
    This top is constructed top down, starting with the back, working short-rows to shape the shoulders, courtesy of Åsa Tricosa’s Ziggurat method. The back is worked to the underam flat, and each strap is worked individually before being joined together at the front. The front is also worked flat to the underarm, then is joined together with the back, and the body is completed in the round.

    After having worked half the body in the round, you work the lace pattern in the round and bind off. The final touch is picking up sts along the neckline and each armhole, to work one round and bind off.
