Diamond Back Top

This wardrobe-staple v neck top has the added detail of a diamond lace panel running down the back. Knit seamlessly from the neck down, it has waist shaping for a flattering fit. Please note that the extra length on larger sizes is made by a longer Double Moss Stitch band at the hem. The yarn used is a tubular yarn, so you can use a Russian Join (directions can be found online) when adding a new ball to limit the number of ends that need to be woven in.
