This yarn is aptly named! It has wonderful nubby bits running throughout that are reminiscent of pearls. It’s very simple, but with a twist:due to the texture, it’s completely reversible. Its inside or outside looks great! It has a subtle A-line silhouette for a little more swishy flow in warm weather.

Note: This top is worked in the round from the hem to the underarms. Front and back are then worked separately to the shoulders. Shoulder stitches are joined using Kitchener stitch or three needle bind-off. You may wish to bind off neck and armhole finishing stitches with a needle two sizes larger to avoid tight bind-off.
