This oversized sleeveless sweater is knit from the bottom up in two pieces. Both front and back panels are constructed in identical fashion except for length. The Topper can be knit cropped (by knitting two front panels) or tunic length (by knitting two back panels). Since it’s knit in simple stockinette stitch it is ideal for those wishing to knit their first garment.
