Knitting pattern for Celina Top

Celina is a delicate summer top made in soft, light wool, and with a beautiful frost lace pattern on front and back piece. Even though the top is made in wool, it is light and great for a Danish summer day. The top is oversize and has extra width of around 15-20 cm at the bust. You can use the top throughout the year, simply by combining it with a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath on cold days. We have used the yarnnling No 2, made from 100% merino wool, and produced according to organic standards.
