Colorblock Stripe V Neck Knit Top

Wide bands of colour do all the work here, broken up by fine pointelle rows that let a little light through the knit. The soft acrylic yarn has a light, airy hand rather than a heavy winter weight, so it works from early autumn onward. A relaxed V neckline, dropped shoulders and full sleeves give it an easy, borrowed shape, while ribbed cuffs and hem stop it from losing form. Both colourways keep the cream trim, so it sits neatly with denim, cream trousers or a slip skirt. Layer a collared shirt underneath for something a bit more put together.
