Murex Top is a cute little top that is ideal to wear on its own on warm summer days or over a top on cooler evenings. This design is unisex so is suitable for both girls and boys.
The pattern has options for working in a single colour or two
contrasting yarns.

The Single Colour Version is ideal for a beginner looking for a
fast and easy top to knit for a little one. Two Colour Version
is also straightforward yet remains interesting enough for
experienced knitters who may also want to challenge
themselves further, by finishing the shoulders so they are
smooth and seam free.

Additionally, it would be straightforward to work the hemline,
neckband and cuffs in a contrast yarn for the Single Colour
Version to add more interest to that version.

The Two Colour version works best when the main colour
yarn is a solid colourway with an obvious difference to the
contrast yarn; the contrast colour yarn can be either plain or
variegated.

Choose the size based on child’s chest size, the body length
can be altered to your preferred length by working more or
less than the amount stated before separating the front and
back pieces.

Murex Top is named after the beautiful Black Murex which is a marine gastropod mollusc usually found in the Sea of Cortez.
