This elegant and lightweight knit top is worked with double strands of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Fine Lace yarn, which provides an especially soft and feather-light feel thanks to the blend of 70% mohair and 30% silk. The standout feature of this top is the neckline: only the Kidsilk Haze yarn is used here, creating a fine lace-like V-neck. The same technique is used for the armholes, giving the top an especially elegant touch. The top has a straight, flowing shape with no darts, making it ideal for women with or without a fuller bust.

The pattern guides you step by step through the process. The back and front pieces are knitted separately, while the neckline and armholes are worked on afterwards.

Key Features:

  • V-neck and armholes: These are worked separately using Rowan Kidsilk Haze.
  • Flowing shape: The emphasized decreases create a flattering, flowing silhouette that adapts perfectly to different body sizes.
