Looking for a fun knit you’ll actually wear? The Cancun boxy lace top by Erin Kate Archer is just the thing! This free pattern is perfect for beginners who want to dip their needles into garment making. It’s made from two easy rectangles, worked from the bottom up, then seamed at the shoulders and sides. You’ll use DK weight yarn and 5.0 mm needles to create a breezy, slightly oversized top with a modern boxy fit and pretty boat neckline.
The best part? It’s a lace stitch sampler, so you get to experiment with different lace patterns – choose the order and customize the look! Want it cropped? Go for it. Need a breezy beach cover-up? Just add a few more rows. This top is sweet, versatile, and such a great intro to lace knitting. The variety keeps it interesting, and the results are just gorgeous!
