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.

Designer Knitting Pattern
This cheerful cover-up top is perhaps the simplest pattern possible. A pair of stitches that you repeat to the end of the row, every row. Plus, the new Zauberball Crazy Cotton (100% organic eco-yarn) will entertain you as the surprising color variations change resulting in a top that is unique on each side. After working front and back the same, seaming them together and finishing with a little crochet trim, you'll have a reversible top. How's that for fun?

A classic tank top that combines stockinette with narrow stripes of garter. It is a simple stitch repeat that encourages meditative knitting. The cotton fine yarn is soft and cool pima cotton with just a touch of the softest merino wool, which gives resilience to the yarn. This pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the front and back are separated for shaping the yoke and rejoined at the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck and armhole trim. The yarn is wonderful to work with and your creation will feel wonderful against your skin.
