Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2009: “This swingy top with ruffled cap sleeves - knit in Trendsetter Yarns’ ‘Super Kid Seta’ and prettily embellished with Crystallized Swarovski Elements - was made for a night on the town. Meslin worked the pleats along the deep scoop neck by knitting together layers of stitches on double-pointed needles.”
