Description
This dickie top is a fantastic hybrid between an accessory and a garment, featuring a striking wavy pattern and a folded turtle neck. It is the perfect in-between project as it is not as involved as knitting a sweater but is just as effective in the outcome. With lots of techniques to learn, Valerie Ng uses a unique Soumak stitch in this design and gives two length options for the back piece – a regular version the same length as the front, or a cropped version.
Deep Sea Dickie uses Lore skeins for the main body and Lore minis for the weaving pattern, held double throughout. This honest woollen-spun yarn is made from 100% Kent lambswool that is sourced and produced in England. It blooms beautifully after washing making it perfect for this colorwork project.

The Fibre Co. Lore (100% lambswool, 250 m (273 yd) per 100 g hank) in shade Reliable – 3 [3: 4] hanks. For the cropped version – 2 [3: 3] hanks.
