This colorful top is easy to customize, fun to make and machine-washable! Designed to be intentionally oversized, it can also be knit shorter, longer or more closely fitted if desired. Sleeve length can also be lengthened.
Worked in the round from the hem to armholes with no shaping, then in rows to the top of the shoulder.
1st-4th colors are used in order as you run out or reach desired height, eg. 35 rounds in sample of each colorway before armhole.
