Play with textures on this feminine, silky top by Sandra Nesbitt. “Shaping at the waist is achieved by incorporating
cabling into the already established Wave pattern,” says Sandra. “Above the bustline, the Flower Buds pattern allows a little stretch to the fabric.” The garment is worked using a 4ply silk-merino yarn, and beads are added using the crochet hook method.
