I enjoyed the opportunity to design a top that would flatter larger sizes. This top, with its flared shape, low neckline and cap sleeves is ideal for parties and special occasions – though I would wear it any time! The border of silk petals around the neckline is optional but I think it transforms this design into something really special. The bamboo (viscose) blend yarn has a nice quality, producing a fabric that drapes well, and it’s available in lots of pretty colours.

Uses 10, 11, or 12 balls.
