Medieval inspired top with shaped body and 3/4 sleeves, worked in an easy slipped stitch pattern. The centre front and cuffs are worked in plain stockinette. Instructions included to susbstitute yarnover eyelets in place of the metal eyelets.

Two different colours are used: 5 (5, 5, 6, 6) balls of the suggested main colour yarn, plus 1 ball of the contrasting colour yarn, are needed. The total amount of yarn used for the largest size is of 450g, but more balls were used to ensure the sequence of colours of this self-striping yarn was correctly synchronised.

Other materials needed: 16 metal eyelets (optional), darning needle, scrap yarn, 2 stitch holders (optional), leather cord or decorative string 160cm (63in) long. Please use the needle size needed to obtain stated gauge.
