Mixed Clouds Topper
This soft drapy topper fits like a dream!
As with its cousin, Cirrus (published by Shibui Knits and designed by Nancy O’Connell), this piece is worked side-to-side using a mix of Shibui Pebble and Shibui Silk Cloud
The difference?
- This design is 5” longer in the back than the front (a perfect “hiney hider!)
- Garment is shaped gently at the neckline
- Cuffs incorporate Shibui Dune, a gorgeous camel blend that holds its shape with a gentle “hug”
- Mixed Clouds incorporates soft color blocks by keeping a consistent Pebble paired with 2 colors in Silk Cloud. The colors change softly, with the dominant shade of Pebble fading nicely to the background, and the soft Silk Cloud defining the color blocks.
- Cowl is worked in double Silk Cloud - a dreamy soft treatment at the neckline.
Sample garment is shown in the following shades:
- Dune (cuffs): Graphite, Color #2002
- Color Block A: Pebble, Mineral Color #2022 ; Silk Cloud Graphite, Color #2002
- Color Block B: Pebble, Mineral Color #2022 ; Silk Cloud Mineral Color #2022
When making yarn substitution, consider weight of yarn to achieve gauge as well as coordination of colors to achieve the subtle color block effect.
