Golden Hour Swing Top
DESCRIPTION
The yarn for this top called to me from across the shop. The beautiful sunset palette stood out amongst the other skeins of yarn. Once I handled it, I knew it should become something soft and drapey. The yarn has a light sheen to it and fantastic drape. The delicate mohair trim adds a touch of femininity and whimsy.
This top is worked in the round, from the neck down, entirely seamlessly. The yoke is circular, and the body is worked in a gentle A-line shape to allow the top to drape and swing.
