Inspired by previous versions of Elton (Cardigan and Pullover), this top features the same simple stripes, alternating yarn in 2 different weights, fingering and lace weight mohair.

The difference with previous versions are: a V-neck shape, less positive ease, and a smaller gauge to adapt to the lovely silk yarn used in this sample.
