Novita Essentials: Bette Knitted Top

This stylish Bette top also works as a festive garment, thanks to being knitted with the sparkling Novita Valo yarn. The top drapes quite beautifully, and the flaring design works equally well with a skirt or a festive pair of trousers. The front and back of the top are slightly different. You can use the same pattern to knit a top using the Novita Sointu yarn, but note that in that case you’ll need more yarn.
