Hyacinth Top
Hyacinth Top is a summery tank top featuring all-over eyelet lace and minimalistic i-cord finishing. Worked in a DK weight cotton linen blend, this top knits up quickly and is perfect for wearing in warm weather. This pattern is gender and size inclusive with two fit options each graded to ten sizes. Optional waist shaping is included for all sizes. Because it is knit top-down, it is straightforward to customize the length and/or amount of waist shaping to match your own personal preference.
