She wants to look like a Princess, but she doesn’t want too much fluff. Zips and buttons are out, this Princess wants to play without her clothes getting in the way! This gorgeous top is easy to get on and off and the short sleeves mean easy layering for those in-between days.

This top is worked bottom up, flat to start then joined in the round and the sleeves are worked on the go. The cable pattern is charted and written out in full. This pattern has been test knitted and professionally tech edited.
