Mari Lynn Patrick’s understanding of style and structure reveals itself in this seaside stunner of a top, which highlights the creative use of ribbing. The unique twist at the center front resembles a cable, but it’s actually the two front k1, p1 ribbed bands, which are knit for several inches to form strips that are then twisted around each other and sewn along the neck. The full-fashioned raglan capped sleeve treatment balances the cropped look perfectly. See page 91 of Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2008 for yarn and other information.
