Whitecaps by DanDoh (Silk+ 7-sk Kit)

Whitecaps by DanDoh (Silk+ 7-sk Kit)

This unique top is quite simple to make because you only need to know three basic techniques - knit, purl, and slip.

Some sections are knit with one strand of yarn, and other sections are knit with two strands of yarn held together. This produces more textures and makes a sturdy body on a lighter see-through fabric.

The body is worked from the bottom up with no shaping. The sleeves are worked straight until just before the cuffs where decreases are worked to produce a curve at the end.

Note:  All colors may not be in stock at the time of your order.  If that happens, we will call or email you to see if another color may be desirable, or to give you an estimate of the time needed to restock your preferred color selection.
