ABOUT THIS DESIGN
Meet Luminesque - an elegant and timeless piece that will give you comfort in style through every occasion. Whether it’s a casual walk through town, a beachside stroll at a resort, or a date night, this versatile top effortlessly fits into any setting. The breezy cable and eyelets stitch pattern looks complex, but not difficult to create. The tone-on-tone glass beads add an enchanting texture, but you can make this design without beads, my pattern has instructions on that. I also added a delicate lace trim, that brings a touch of nostalgia and refinement into the mix. Rich textures, simple construction and at the end a very comfortable, easy to style top for your next adventures in life. Happy knitting!
