This top is named for both the yarn colorway, and the Orchid lace panel encircling the generous hem. Dragonfly Fibers Dance is my favorite warm weather yarn. It has a lovely feel while knitting and a luscious drape while wearing.

Gauge: 20 stitches/28 rows per 4” in stockinette stitch.

Note: This top is worked in the round from the hem to the underarms. Front and back are then worked separately to the shoulders. Shoulder stitches are joined using Kitchener stitch or three-needle bind-off. You may wish to bind off neck and armhole finishing stitches with a needle two sizes larger, as silk does not give like wool does.
