Summer Pure Linen Lace Top

This is an easy lace pattern with a draped neck style and cap sleeves.  There's nothing like linen.  It flows so beautifully as this fiber has been around for centuries.  Wear it with a tank top underneath and summer will never be too hot.  Other yarns could also be used such as cotton, but just make sure you get the gauge as described.
