Dragonfruit | Sleeveless Knit Top
Dragonfruit is a versatile top with a classic fit that can be worn as a sleeveless tank for the warmer months, or layered as a vest for when it gets chilly. Worsted weight yarn provides the right amount of coverage without feeling too heavy, however a heavier dk weight yarn may also be used for the knit gauge. The stockinette stitch fabric makes for a quick knit so it can be made in as many colors or fiber choices as you wish.
