Connemara Coast

This top is inspired by the waves of the Atlantic where they meet the Coast of Connemara.

The top is worked in the round in one piece to arms, then the front and back are worked flat and joined with a 3 needle bindoff. The neck and arm edgings are then picked up and worked. There is an opening at the back of the neck, closed with a button.

There are both charted and written instructions for the lace pattern.
