Dawning Top was inspired by the sense of renewal and new beginnings that comes with the season of spring as well as the summer mornings. The spokes radiating from the neck symbolize sun rays, and the little eyelets are like the dew you see on fresh grass when you go outside, right when the sun is coming up. I love this time of day when the air feels cool and new, and the whole day is ahead of you!

Construction:
You will work this halter top from the top down. First, you will work the neckband in the round, then separate the front and back to work them flat to the underarm, and then join the front and back to work the body in the round.
