Pale Shelter Top is the summer spin-off of the beloved Pale Shelter sweater (* originally published in Making Stories magazine issue 3).

The construction, gauge and fit is different but the main design features are there. Worked top-down, this sleeveless top has a flattering A-line fit perfect for the summer!

A line of eyelets tracing the sides of the body and a twisted stitch seam running down the back make the project interesting and addictive to knit. This top is going to fly off your needles in no time!
