This top is a perfect blend of casual and dressy. Silk makes for a comfortable fabric with lovely drape that is ideal for popping on after a swim or for wearing to a summer wedding. You may find that you want to knit more than one.

The keyhole at the back of the neck is a stylish detail, and while we opted not to add a button, it would look very sweet with a mother-of-pearl button or any other small bead or button that catches your eye.

Our sample used four balls of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk in Olive.
