PATTERN DETAILS
A lightweight wrap top inspired by Angela Darmody, a character on the HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. Much like Angela, Darmody is a little bit dreamy, a little bit coy, and a whole lot of subtle sexy. Darmody pairs perfectly with a romper in the spring, and your softest Henley in the winter.

Instructions are included for customizing the waist for a perfect fit, as well as how to transform this wrap top into a waterfall-style cardigan. In addition to being able to customize the fit of the waist, knitters will also be able to choose between 3 closures: no closure for an open front cardigan, standard I-cord for a dainty tie, and double knit I-cord for a thicker/sturdier closure.

MATERIALS
Miss Babs Dulcinea, or any other lace weight yarn. This top knits up best in a yarn that has some drape; cashmere, alpaca, silk, bamboo, pima cotton, linen, or blends of these fibers would all be lovely. A fingering weight yarn in a contrasting color for bobbles is optional.
