Sakura Top
The Sakura Top is inspired by the gentle arrival of spring, when bare branches burst into delicate blossom and a sense of softness returns after the long winter months.
Light, airy, and effortlessly elegant, this piece is perfect for staying cool as the weather warms. The body is worked in a beautiful lace pattern that lies flat, with open sides that create a relaxed, flattering fit. A graceful V-shaped neckline is framed with lace that flows seamlessly into the straps, adding a refined, feminine detail.
An enjoyable and engaging project, the Sakura Top incorporates a variety of interesting techniques, making it as rewarding to knit as it is to wear.
