Summer Princess
Simplicity at its best—a light-as-air top in 2-ply wool
Although this lovely top looks simple, we would like to warn beginners that 2-ply as fine as the one we used is tricky, and that great care has to be taken to obtain and even knit. A tight tension has also been used; therefore, to avoid breaks, no strain should be put on the wool when feeding it into the machine.
For Knitmasters with 203 Needles only.
Materials: 5 (5, 6) half-oz. Balls Patons Lucelle Fine Ply in main colour; 3 half-oz. Balls Patons Lucelle Fine Ply in contrasting colour; crochet hook; stitch holder.
Measurements: To fit a 32 (34, 36) inch bust (actual garment measures 34 (36, 38) inches); completed length from shoulder measured over back, 20 (20.5, 21) inches.
