Razzler is a classic sleeveless top, inspired by 1950s fashions. Knit in the round from the bottom up, it features a striking geometric seed stitch motif that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear!

This modified drop shoulder pattern is thoughtfully graded, with proportionate chart placement and designed so that it creates a similar-length cap sleeve across all sizes.

Worked in worsted weight yarn, this striking top works up quickly—perfect for your warm-weather and transitional season wardrobes!

While setting up the charts might be a tad spicy, the knitting itself is smooth sailing. You’ll be wearing your fabulous new Razzler in no time!
