Knit Kit - I-Cord Bound Sweater

SKU: B72976

Light, drapey, and endlessly easy to wear, this cropped summer top is the kind of make you reach for on every warm day. It is knit from two simple rectangles with no shaping, so it is wonderfully mindless, while the cotton-bamboo blend gives it a soft, breezy drape. The standout detail is the i-cord finishing throughout, with delicate i-cord edges and ties down the front. Sized XS to 5XL and simple to lengthen, it is a relaxed, flattering piece for everyone.

Knitting with Chopsticks (Hortense Maskens)
Pattern Designer Info
My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was bored on the beach at age 10. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching. A few years ago I started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before. Slowly I started to move away from following patterns until 2018 when I finally launched my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns for garments, cozy blankets and cherished little makes. My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it through my patterns, blog, ebooks, courses, the Stitching Squad and summits.
