Speckles and Spice Top
Speckles and Spice is a fun, cropped top that is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a striking colorwork yoke that knits up surprising quickly!
Looking for inspiration? We have had some amazing testers with a wide variety of color combos, so hop on over for some color inspiration as well as to view their beautiful versions :)
I highly recommend knitting two swatches - one in stockinette to achieve the right gauge for the body and another knitting from the second chart, so as to gain an idea as to which method you’re most comfortable with working three colors at a time, since this might be a first for fairly new knitters to colorwork.
