Stripes! But… sideways? The Pinstripe Top features a classic summer staple that isn’t often seen in knitwear—vertical stripes. The top is a breezy textured hip-length t-shirt with a slightly relaxed fit, a longer, set-in sleeve, and a round neck.

The vertical stripes have an alternating triple/single pattern, worked in simple garter stitch. The clever sideways construction has you cast on each piece separately at the center,and work out towards the sides. They are then seamed together, then the neckline and sleeve cuffs are added by picking up stitches and working in the round.
