This knitting preview will get you ready to shimmer and shine through the rest of summer — thanks to this fabulous lime top.

We have seven sizes this week, ranging from 76/81 cm (30/32 ins) to 137/142 cm (54/56 ins).

Actual size is 11-16 cm (4-6 ins) bigger, making for a comfortable fit.

The yarn used is Stylecraft Moonbeam, in the delightful “Luminary Lime” (3961) shade. A mix of cotton (79%) and viscose, its chainette structure creates a lovely shimmer.

You will need between 8 and 12 balls to complete your garment. Find out more about the yarn and stockists at www.stylecraft-yarns.co.uk.

This is a simple pattern worked over two rows, and the eyelet effect uses with yf, K2tog and SKPO. Nothing too tricky! It will work up quickly, too.

This is your chance to grab the limelight!
