Designed by Zara Powter of Lily Purl Design
Remniscent of warm evenings watching the sun set over the water through a light misty rain, this top blends simplicity and elegance. With a modern twist front, simple ridge stitch and negative ease, its the perfect laid back Summer style. The top is knit flat, a twist is knitted into the work, and it laces up at the back with halter straps.
