Ziggity Boom is a playful raglan design with multiple options to customize and make uniquely yours. Instructions are provided to knit cropped, standard, and long versions. The slip-stitch stripes knit up quickly. The beauty of the top-down construction means you can wait to decide which length you want until you have the opportunity to try it on. Likewise, you can finish the folded V neckline in the main color as shown in the sample or work in a contrast color for an added pop.

Sample shown in Size 1 Cropped Style.
