This draping top by Carol Feller certainly has the ‘wow’ factor, with its single sleeve and biased fabric. Wear it over a plain vest or T-shirt if you’re nervous about showing too much skin! The sloping stripe effect is created by changing yarn weights and needle sizes every few rows, and also by working an increase and decrease on every right side row. Fyberspates Scrumptious Lace and 4ply give this top a luxurious feel.
