Silk and Saltwater
I just came across Silk and Saltwater on Ravelry and had to share! I love the casual elegance of this top. The welts (or ribs) are an incredibly simple yet effective design feature – very wearable.
To get drapey, summery effect use a plant fibre like silky Cascade Ultra Pima or Louet Euroflax Sport (both are ON SALE). If you want a garment with more body that holds it’s shape try using Mineville Angora Wool (ON SALE) or Cascade 220 Superwash Sport.
Silk and Saltwater is on sale until Friday July 22, so if you’re interested in making it you might want to scoop it up now!
