This garment of drapey delight comes to life by knitting two simple pieces and joining them at the shoulders. Featuring Colorburst yarn, the magic happens when you work yarn-overs right at the “burst” of color, then drop them on the following row. The result? A cascade of vibrant, elongated stitches that dance across the fabric, giving it a dynamic and colorful flair.
