I was listening to the Paul Simon song, Kodachrome, when I was inspired to design this top. Just like the song, I wanted something that would “give us those nice bright colors/give us the greens of summers/makes you think all the world’s a sunny day”.

It is knit in two pieces from the bottom up, and then the border is picked up and knit, which gives you the option to make the border as long or as short as you’d like.

There is simple shaping, which makes it a great project to learn how to knit a garment with.
