Renna Top

This top uses contrasting minis against a tonal in a simple design with a big result! This top is fine yarn at a larger than usual gauge so it’s lovely for spring through autumn. Use one color, a mini or gradient mini set, or leftover yarns on your stripes, stripe throughout or just as I have.
