Twisted V-top is a modern take on a summer top, featuring a classic, centered cable that divides into two parts on the front to create the V-neck and straps. Twisted V-top is worked with 2 strands of Pure Silk held together throughout. The body is worked from the bottom up in the round to the underarms. Here, work is divided, and front and back pieces finished separately back and forth.
