“This is a simple, floaty T-shaped top to be worn over a strappy vest top or summer dress,” says designer Nicola Diggins. “The lacy border that twists across the shoulders of the top will let a little breeze in, but still give warmth if it turns chilly.” Nicola’s top is knitted in a soft and lustrous Merino-silk 4ply yarn from her own hand-dyed range, Ainsworth & Prin.
