This is a quick and easy knit for anyone who has mastered the basics in knitting: casting on and off, knit, purl and picking up stitches. It is a super versatile relaxed fit summer top reminiscent of summer days on the beach. The styling definitely harks back to the 80’s with its boxy shape and dropped shoulders. It is very slightly cropped which lends it well to layering over your favourite tee or slip dress.

It knits up quickly using an aran weight yarn on a 6mm needle giving a lovely soft drape to the fabric. Instructions include 5 sizes from UK size 6-18 comfortably.

THe smallest size takes just 5 balls of yarn to complete and the largest 10 balls. I have already made 3 versions of this top, which I know is goingto be a staple of my summer wardrobe.
