THIS LIGHTWEIGHT top from Faye Perriam-Reed features a beautiful lace and cable stitch pattern, worked in a wide panel on the front. The garment is knitted in the round, and has a fitted waist, and short sleeves which are worked at the same time as the body. It’s finished with a ribbed neckband and armhole borders. Faye’s design is knitted in Elements DK, a lustrous and draping yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners which comes in 18 chic shades.
