Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine Spring/Summer 2009 #6
design by Debbie Bliss

This delicious top earns its pleats in simple cast off groups of stitches in the last row before finishing the neckband. The raglan cap sleeves are knit separately and joined to the front and back during finishing. Easy to knit, a joy to wear; work it in Prima.
