Knitting Knit - Short Lace Tube Top for Slim Mini

Here is another adaptation of the "Coquette Lace Tube Top" I did for my Narae. I shorted it up, changed yarns and knitted it on smaller needles. I changed the lace panel as well. I think it also makes a great top for summer wear. It knits up quite fast despite the fact it is a smaller gauge.
