Note: As of April 2008, Mag Knits has ceased publication and removed its archives from the Internet, so this pattern is not currently available. PM the designer, Kate Buchanan, for more information.

From MagKnits:
This asymmetric cotton top is knitted by starting at the bottom right-hand corner and continuing to increase and then decrease. This produces an unusual diagonal stripe design and a bias drape which is very stretchy and figure-skimming so broad sizes are given. The bottom edge of the finished garment runs from right waistline to left hip so if you have a long body, go for the larger size. I seem incapable of sticking rigidly to a knitting pattern, preferring to add my own details and colour choices. I hope this pattern is loose enough for you to make it your own!

Special Note:
Pattern uses one circular needle.

Yarn Info:
Pattern suggests using one ball each of six colors. 300g/630yds total.

Yarn Substitutions:
Phil Ruban is a flat woven cotton tape 3-4mm wide. You could use Patons Bella which is slightly wider with more stretch.
