Yoreum - 여름 - means summer in Korean. It is an elegant top with a delicate lace panel in front, discreet enough to show only a bit of skin. Use the top alone in the summer or under a shirt on cooler days. First the back is worked, then stitches are picked up for the two fronts, which are worked separately and flat until they’re joined. They are then joined with the back, and the rest of the top is knitted in the round. Stitches are picked up and knitted to form a folded neckband, and the sleeve edges are finished with a simple i-cord.
