Mona top – PDF

Description

Meet Mona:

Meet Mona, a pretty and lightweight top that will quickly become an essential piece in your summer wardrobe. 

Knitted top-down in a bubble stitch pattern with stripes, Mona is playful and textured. It begins at the shoulders, worked separately and overlapping front and back. These sections are then joined to knit the back, followed by the front. Both are joined under the arms, and the body is then worked in the round. 

The Mona top is available in both child and adult sizes, making it ideal for matching family outfits. Its charming stitch pattern makes it perfect for knitters of all skill levels, from confident beginners to more experienced knitters.
