Pieridae

Named after the white-winged butterflies, this top offers great arm space and plenty of room to dream.

Construction
you pick up stitches all around this in Pickles Silk Mohair and continue knitting around. It falls off for a bodice, and you continue with sleeves.
In this recipe, we focus more on the correct knitting strength than on the exact number of stitches. I therefore recommend a sample patch, especially on the knitted section.
