This breezy, light-weight summer top is knit in cotton or cotton blend. The top is designed to be interesting to knit and a pleasure to wear. It’s sure to get you a second date!

The top is knit flat with faux princess seams, simple intarsia and lace/mesh details. The top is meant to fit closely with little, to no, ease and to just skim the top of low-rise jeans.

Three sizes are available - to fit bust size 32”, 34” & 36” All three sizes have been test knit.

At this gauge, with a sport weight yarn, the honeycomb mesh is fine enough that the top can be worn with or without a cami underneath - a larger gauge or larger yarn will result in the honeycomb mesh resembling a swimsuit cover-up and a camisole underneath is strongly advised - I’m just trying to help you get a second date, nothing more!

Two skeins of Kollage Riveting Sport were used - Light Green for the main color and Dark Green for the contrast color.

If using a DK weight - the size 36 used approx 340 yards each color

Additional materials needed: 2 stitch markers, a cable needle, tapestry needle for finishing.

A big thank you to my test knitters:
