Versatility is the key with this elegant top that can be worn day or night. This daring piece as evening wear features dolman sleeves and a wide boat-neck collar paired with an alluring open V back. The design elements allow the garment to be worn with the V in front over a tank top for day wear. Delicious silk yarn and bead-studded ribbing assure the wearer many backward glances.

DIFFICULTY: Advanced beginner. Pattern requires knowledge of basic decreases and increases.
