Yellow Ivy is a summer top designed for plant-based yarns. You will start by making the two lace panels first with raglan-style increases. Both are then joined for knitting in the round of the simple, A-shaped, stockinette stitch body. Straps are worked last by picking up stitches along the lace panels and underarms, making the project completely seamless.

It now comes in 9 sizes from XS to 5X and is intended to be worn with zero or negative ease at full bust and some positive ease in the waist and hip area. It is an ideal summer project both to make and to wear. Paired with a cotton top it can be worn year-round.
