The Perseids is a very light top, worked with delicate mohair/silk blend yarn.
In the design, I tried to represent a starry night in summer by using dark blue yarn and crystal beads.
Also, it has frilled sleeves to enhance the elegance.

This top is worked separately in four parts -- front, back, and left and right sleeves. Short-row techniques are applied for the shoulder lines of sleeves.
