Valerie is a charming, lightweight, and easy-to-knit top. It has a fitted waist but flares slightly, making it a super comfortable piece. The hem, neckline, and straps are worked in a 1x1 ribbing with a basket slip stitch pattern, creating a beautiful texture. It is knit in the round from the hem up to the neckline, with the armholes and neckline worked flat.
