A hip-bone length colorwork top with capped sleeves, of which the length, shaping of the body and sleeves are all easily modifiable. The colorwork is created with a background of Olann Sock Lite held double, contrasted with Olann Silk Mohair held double. The sample uses three different colors in a gradient for the background, but I encourage you to explore and use only one, two, or even four!
