Pattern: Doodles by Yumiko Alexander (pattern may be purchased in advance on Ravelry or at the shop for an additional $10) 

Doodles This pattern allows for playing with textures using basic techniques - knit, purl, slip stitches, and eyelets.  To make this unique texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with one strand of yarn, and other sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together. This produces a fabric where some sections are light, delicate, and see-through, and other sections are textured and a bit thicker. Slip stitches make wavy, horizontal lines without using short rows. 
The instructions have an option to make a top without sleeves.
