This elegant, lightweight top will take you anywhere - to the beach, out to dinner, even to the office.
The upper back and front are worked bottom up in stocking stitch with a V shaped motif of double eyelets. The lower section is worked sideways in one piece, with rows of chevron single eyelets. The tie is worked seperately and is both flattering and stylish. The suggested yarn is wonderfully soft and drapey and easy on sensitive skin.
