Fishtail Top Pattern

The Fishtail top is a summery lace top worked in 2 pieces. The fishtail pattern is worked from the bottom up, creating a wavy undulating bottom edge. The lace pattern is gradually replaced by stocking stitch from the outside in to form a fishtail motif. A simple rolled edging is used for the neckline and armhole borders.
