The Drop the Game Top is the top you never knew you needed. With its seamless construction and subtle texture, this sweater ups any outfit.

Gauge:

Yarn Suggestions:

  • Qing Fibre, Melted Baby Suri, 2 strands held together
  • Wool and the Gang, Take Care Mohair
  • Wool and the Gang, Feeling Good Yarn (size up)
  • Any 50g/400m mohair, hold 3 strands together
