coffee and cream
A two-toned neutral palette and a richly textured stitch pattern create a delicious look for any wardrobe.

DROP STITCH CROP TOP
I chose a lacy drop-stitch pattern to show off the ribbon-like shape of Berroco’s Bonsai yarn. Tape yarns like these are fun and quick to knit. The easy-wearing shape of this top flatters any wearer.
