Wrap yourself in a light, earthy, and effortless garment. Knit in our expressive Sketchbook Cotton yarn, the Wrap Top pattern is full of quiet beauty and understated grace… And it’s a joy to knit, too!
- We pared back this design in order to spotlight the grounded elegance of Sketchbook Cotton, an artistic DK-weight yarn with a velvety touch and a subtle thick-and-thin texture. Pick from a dozen beautiful colors, including tweed-y neutrals and a palette of rich solids, each with a lovely matte quality.
- Knit flat in one piece, you begin at the bottom edge of the back and knit up towards the shoulders. After shaping the armholes and back neck, you knit the left and right front panels separately from the top down.
- You’ll finish the edges with an attached I-cord, which flows seamlessly into ties that let you shape the garment to your personal perfect fit each time you wear it. The final step is to seam the sides with mattress stitch, leaving a gap for the I-cord to pass through and a split hem for a relaxed silhouette.
Craft your own Wrap Top in Sketchbook Cotton… You’ll revel in the organic texture of every stitch and delight in having knit a perfect fit!
