This is my summer sweater for dressy occasions number one! I love the delicate colors together, the little lively pink pops of the pink colorway and the calming serenity of the peachy beige shade of main color, that pair perfectly with this lovely lace and stockinette stitch stripes.
Piennar Top is worked from top down in one piece. The shoulders are shaped with short rows giving this top a delightful fit with plenty of positive ease.
