Inlet by Yumiko Alexander has a clean look and shows off the beauty of the yarn. This top only uses knit and purl stitches. To make an interesting texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together, and some sections are worked with one strand of yarn.
This top is worked with two colors. The main color is used throughout the project, and the contrast color is used only in the sections where two strands of yarn are held together. The sample uses two low-contrast colors producing a subtle look. If you prefer to play with color, use two high-contrast colors.
