Ivy Top Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Ivy Top
The Ivy Top is a lightweight, seamless summer garment worked from the top down with elegant shaping and minimal finishing. The top begins with shoulder increases and short-row shaping, followed by working the front and back yokes separately. These are then joined and the body is completed in the round. Designed to be close-fitting with negative ease, this polished tank-style top is perfect for warmer months and ideal for layering.
