What a beautiful tank the Summer Lace is. I can't wait to work it up. I am going to use a different type of cotton yarn. I think one that is softer and has more drape to it. The stitch pattern is so delicate looking. I think it makes the top very feminine.

What a cute Lace Tank Top. I love the peach color and think it would look good in a light purple too. I want to first try it in the self striping colors. The patter is well written and looks so easy to whip up. I'm thinking of adding a longer shell stitch edging to the bottom. Looking forward to making a few of these. Thank you for the free pattern.

Thanks to the previous commenter tburn for your suggestion. That will come in handy should I decide to make this tank top. This is so lovely in peach. Can be produced in different colors.

I''m having a little bit of a problem with this pattern. It says

Yes It was very helpful. I think anyone who has something new it will be very helpful

This is a very easy pattern and it stitches out nicely. I would suggest when you are completing the bottom edging that you work 2 rows around. This keeps the decorative edge from flipping up.
