This piece is versatile as a summer top or as a first layer for colder days. Easy, quick and fun to knit, with basic stitches but that together draw very nice stripes.

It is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom with three different stitch patterns: stockinette, garter stitch and half fisherman’s rib (wrong side). A double knitted band is worked at the end for the straps and the neckline.

Adaptations can be done to achieve another body, strap length and/or upper body height.
