Designed by Amy Palmer for Berroco, the Davit top has a simple front and a surprising back with two pieces that are crossed for an elegant wrap effect. The body was knit from the top down before the shoulder pieces and bottom edges were sewn together, with stitches picked up and knitted down to create cap sleeves. The Berroco yarn used is Quinoa, made of contrasting shades of thick and thin cotton fibers blended with a lighter nylon thread for a marled appearance and a slightly pebbled texture. The front of the body is 20" long with a 20" scooped neck, 18" wide measured underneath the sleeves. The cap sleeves are 5" long from 9" seam at joinder to body, with arm openings 20" in circumference. In the back, the panel from the right shoulder extends 20" to attach diagonally under the left sleeve, while the left panel extends over the top of the right for 24", attaching diagonally under the right sleeve. The total width of the back is 20" measured under the sleeves from the points of attachment. Total length is 16" in back, width 18" at bottom. This is such a flattering design in a perfect Mint green for springtime. I photographed this top with the Salvia Scarf (not included) made of Zinnia yarn from Berroco to contrast the shades of green. The color and texture of the Quinoa yarn is shown to great effect by the unusual design of this lightweight pullover top. A beautiful garment with dramatic drape and fit.
