Stripes are prevalent in this sleeveless top. As with the snug-fitting 1858 sleeved top, this one begins with ribbing below the hips but uses 3 colorways instead of 4. The deeper armholes allow a tee-shirt or camisole to be worn underneath. The instructions state that 3.5-5.0 mm needles are required in order to achieve gauge for the 2 different fabrics.
