Simple style with subtle details makes this knitted top a very fun and wearable piece. Shibui “Vine” is an amazingly light weight yarn. Super comfortable to wear and you almost feel like you are wearing paper!! (Yes! actually this yarn is made of 41% paper :)

Finished Chest - S (M, L, XL, XXL) / 36 (38, 40, 42, 46)“

Yarn
The sample shown is knitted with Shibui “Vine” in apple, 5 skeins for M size.
Any summer yarn works if you can get the right gauge- 20sts / 4” (after wet blocking)

Needles
Needle size will vary depending on your yarn choice. Please take time to check the gauge (after blocking) and choose the right size needles for your yarn.
(I needed to use US#3 for Vine. I don’t like to knit tight with these kind of yarns… so needed smaller size needles.)
