Helene V-Neck Top

Helene is knitted on circular needles; it has only one seam/graft and no shaping what so ever! The clever cable detail at the waist creates all the shaping needed, and the lovely seed stitch details adds texture to an otherwise simple top.

It’s easy to adapt our patterns to someone else’s yarn, see Elly on our blog

Knitting Techniques include: cabling, moss stitch, stocking stitch, holding sts, using markers
