The Ladder and Cable Top is knitted using super comfy, lightweight Ice Yarns Rock Star DK. The perfect top for layering over dresses or for wearing on its own with trousers or skirts. It has a loose- fitting body, boat neck and dropped ¾ length sleeves. The hem and sleeves are finished with the same rolled edge as the neckline. It is worked seamlessly top down, starting at the neckline and increasing at shoulder seams. The big advantage of working top down is that you can easily adjust the length of the sleeves and body.
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate.
