Sunny is a simple and elegant top with beautifully finished i-cord edges. It is knitted from the top down, making it easy to adjust the length or add details such as stripes to suit your preferences. If you’re searching for a versatile wardrobe staple, look no further! First, you work the shoulder straps and then join the front and back pieces separately. These are then joined in the round to continue the body, which is also worked in the round. All edges are finished with an i-cord for a neat look. Sunny draws its inspiration from the Boney M. song that reminds me of the carefree summers of my childhood.
