Hit the festival circuit, the garden party or the beach in Cigne – a fun lacy halter top worked in one Freia Superwash Sport full size ball and two matching Minikins for the bra cups. Shaped cups ensure good coverage, and a hidden elastic attached below the bust keeps the fit snug at the body. The top is worked in the round to the upper rib cage, each cup is worked flat in plain stitch with shaping which then decreases to form the straps.
