Warm weather is calling, and so is cotton yarn in all the bright colors! Summer Daze Top uses the drop-and-swap method of colorwork to create a fun double textured tank for those hot days ahead. Pick three colors (I like to use two solids and one variegated, but you can do whatever you choose!) and let the yarn do all the work for you. Simple stitches and simple construction make Summer Daze a top you’ll make more than once, for sure. Enjoy!
