Fenn

I love pretty knitted tops, especially when they are as pretty as this one. Fenn is colorful and fits loosely for lots of comfort and ease. This project keeps you happily involved with a pretty lace border that is knitted sideways and then from the bottom up. Color changes, a boatneck neckline and flirty sleeves make this piece a pleasure to wear.
