This knit top looks like a simple ribbed tank, until you look closer and notice intentionally dropped stitches that create a cool ‘ladder’ effect. Designed in Caron Simply Me Luster, the top is worked flat in stocking stitch with simple neck shaping. Stitches are then dropped before casting off. Practice knit, purl, seaming pieces together, and more. You’ll love how the glossy yarn catches the light in the ladders. Wear it solo or over a shirt for this distinctively fashionable garment.
