This closely fitted, cropped top is worked in an easy slip stitch, using many colors of lustrous mercerized cotton yarn. The effect is reminiscent of afghans made with multicolored scraps. Black and white Fair Isle checks and diagonal lines are interspersed in just the right places among the rich, earthy tones of the chevron bands to add liveliness to a sporty summer pullover.
