Here in Indiana, the weather changes as frequently as my mood! That’s why it’s important to have wardrobe staples to support a variety of seasons, even in a single week. The Mood Swing top was designed with this versatility in mind. For a toasty summer day, it can be worn as a breathable tie-back tank. But if the temperature drops, throw it over a sleeved top to be worn as an open vest. Worked top down, this set-in shoulder top has a simple zig-zag lace panel running down each edge with some fun short row shaping to make working it easy yet engaging. Queen City Yarn’s Coleman DK is perfect for the Mood Swing top for it’s soft-on-the-skin, all-season wearability.
