This a women’s sleeveless top with cable, pearl and lace detailing. As ever, my patterns are very versatile. The front and back can be made the same and it can be worn either way, so it can have a ‘v’ on one side or both or the lace on one side or both. The beads can be omitted too, and so far as beads are concerned, the choices are almost unlimited.

It is economical to make, needing only 2 100gm balls of yarn, less if you omit the lace panel.

The cables form the shoulder straps providing interesting detail to an otherwise plain top.
