Plateau has a unique fabric and features color play. Using only knit and purl stitches, the larger gauge makes a sheer fabric for a feminine and elegant look.

The top is worked with two strands of main color held together throughout, and a contrast color is added in some sections. Those sections are worked with three strands of yarn held together, providing more structure and less of a sheer fabric for contrast.

☆ Instructions include the following adjustments/options:
Body length adjustments
Sleeve opening depth and length adjustments
