Enjoy this elegant top – in luxurious silk print yarn, it’s a pleasure to knit and heaven to wear.

Luxury Silk DK Prints have a regular colour sequence, but not all balls start the sequence in the same place. You can choose to ignore it, but if you wish to maintain the colour order, you may need to wind off a small amount of yarn at the start of a new ball to find the correct colour – you should be able to use the wound off yarn at a later stage or for working bands or sewing up. When joining in, check that the colour sequence of the new ball doesn’t reverse the colour order, unless this is the effect you want.
