Mari Tobita’s lace sleeveless top maintains a sunny outlook in the orange and honey shades of Akari colorway #6. Perfect for layering, the boxy silhouette complements the playful patterning of wavy lace-and-garter stitch. The piece is worked in the round to the armholes, effecting narrow stripes in the colorway. As the yoke is divided and worked flat, the color graduations widen, drawing the eye to the face. Garter-ridge borders offer subtle detail. Pair it with a tee for now and a sundress for later.
