Madison Top
The airy, open feel of this loosely knit silk top makes it a dream to wear in summer weather. The top is knit from the bottom up, using short rows to create a garter stitch wave. The shoulders are joined with a shoulder panel worked from the side with an optional I-cord shoulder gather.
There is also a full video project workshop available for this pattern here as well as yarn kits here.
