At first, I called this design “Welcome Spring”, because it was published in April. Now that I look at the colors, I realize that is more appropriate for Christmas, hence the name change.
This is a beautiful top with the skirt worked in a bicolor Feather and Fan variation. The waist is worked in k1, p1 ribbing to pull in and the rest of the body and ¾-length sleeves are worked in Stockinette stitch. The round wide neckline is decorated with the same ruffle as the skirt. The sleeve cuffs have decorative Garter stitch edges.

this design is part of Spring 2011 issue of Lace ‘n More.
