SHORT ROW COLORBLOCK TOP

Noro Spring/Summer 2013 #9

Design by Wilma Peers

Peers’s hip-length columnar top uses short rows to sculpt Noro Silk Garden Lite colorways #2087 and #2094 into wedge-like shapes. The triangular stripe sequence slims the figure, while a hemmed fold-over collar draws the eye upward. Well-structured side seams and hemming at the armholes and lower edge create a polished look.
