We all need that go-to vest, the simple top which goes with everything and we reach for it time after time after time.
Well great news, now you can make your own.
Made from a relaxing stitch repeat, graded for sizes XS-5XL with an additional 3 sizes between each bracket and six length options throughout, this pattern is the versatile and enjoyable make you’ve been dreaming of.
Grab your DK yarn, a 4mm hook and get out in the sunshine to make your very own Chain Reaction Top. The only tough part is deciding whether to add the chains and how many colours you can make it in!
