A poncho that slips over your head and drapes over your arms is a carefree idea for a spring and summer cover up top. So, here’s a lady’s top that has the option to be worn open poncho style or closed with laces up the sides. The pattern is worked from the bottom front up to the boatneck-style opening and down to the back hem. There is no shaping, so it is easy and relaxing to knit. And simple openwork adds detail to provide a little fun. Enjoy.

Reva is an environmentally sensitive yarn crafted from recycled cotton. The subdued color palette creates a casually sophisticated look for any project. It is a 2-ply yarn with a subtle textured finish that provides enhanced visual interest while maintaining stitch definition. Hand washing is recommended.

It was René Lacoste, the legendary French tennis player, that first conceived what we know today as the polo shirt. This pattern is inspired by René and designed so every knitter can enjoy the pleasure of hand-crafting a shirt that is as comfortable as the original design from 1929.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The pattern is worked from the top down in one piece so the only seam to be sewn is the body hem. The shoulders and neck are shaped using German short rows, stitches are picked up around the arm hole, the body and arms are worked in the round. Alternating stockinette and twisted stockinette create a subtle sophisticated stripe pattern.

FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER

This pattern is inspired by the classic pocket T-shirt. Knit from the top down in one piece, the shoulders and neck are shaped using short rows, and the shoulders are joined using the invisible cast-on method. The body is worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked around the arm opening and are also worked in the round. The sleeves and body are finished with seamless folded hems.

The body length can be tailored simply by removing the work from your needles and trying it on to guarantee it is exactly the length you desire before you finish it.

The light weight cotton blend yarn results in a very flexible garment. Is it a T-shirt, is it a sweater? You decide.
