If you purchase 5 of my self-published designs at the same time (they need to be in the same cart), you will get the least expensive for free!

This top is super special to me. I made it to celebrate old and true friendships of people who support you throughout hard times. The name Victoria is after fabulous Vikky from Eden Cottage Yarns who hand dyed this gorgeous yarn. I made my sample in BFL, but you can substitute it with any fingering weight with nice stitch definition and not too much stretch.
Hope you like it as much as me! Happy knitting!
