This fun little top features a keyhole neckline, an accent of hand-dyed yarn, and pleats that are essentially a wide rib. The pleats are reduced and then eliminated to pull in the waistline a bit, then brought back to increase for the bust.

You can use any yarn that matches the gauge for the waistline and edging. The yarn used for the test pattern is Knit Picks Shine Worsted, but it was hand-dyed after purchase. You have the option of using a handspun, art yarn, or a bit of something fun from your stash.
