FAMILY TREES. TOP

This blouse can be knitted as a sleeveless silk top in silk or as a lovely sweater in Merino wool. You can choose to knit it sleeveless or with short, mid-length, or long sleeves. The blouse is knitted from the top down and can therefore be adjusted to your preferences. It is highly recommended to use lace circular needles, as their tips are sharper and therefore more suitable for knitting with thin yarn. If you choose to knit this top in silk, use needles one size smaller than in the wool version.
