Knitting For Olive | Barbroe Top Pattern & Yarn Pack
Lightweight Summer Top Pattern
Barbroe Top is a refined, lightweight garment featuring a delicate all-over eyelet design. Knitted in the round from the hem upwards, this top uses a single strand of Pure Silk for a beautifully smooth finish. Once you reach the underarm, the work is split into front and back sections, which are then shaped and completed individually in rows. The elegant stitch pattern is provided in chart form and is intuitive to follow. Clean I-cord edges frame the neckline at both front and back for a polished touch. Designed to hug the body, the Barbroe Top is intended to be worn with negative ease for a close, flattering fit.
Our Barbroe Top Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 2 balls of yarn and a digital pattern.
