Dragonfruit is a versatile top with a classic fit that can be worn as a sleeveless tank for the warmer months, or layered as a vest for when it gets chilly. Worsted weight yarn provides the right amount of coverage without feeling too heavy, however a heavier dk weight yarn may also be used for the knit gauge. The stockinette stitch fabric makes for a quick knit so it can be made in as many colors or fiber choices as you wish.

This pullover is knit seamlessly from the top down. The upper back is worked flat, then stitches are picked up along the cast on edge for each of the upper front shoulders and worked flat. The pieces are then connected and worked in the round after armhole shaping.

Choose a size that is 1-3” / 2.5-7.5cm larger than your chest measurement.
