You are going to love this super easy knitted top! I named it “Colors are popping” as the colors really do po, don’t they?

Knit yours in easy Garter stitches, a few strategically placed seams, a V-neckline in the front and back and two long side slits that ensure easy movements and add a bit of flair.

It’s light, airy and just so pretty! The middle seam does add a lovely accent as well.
