Mini Always Summer Top PATTERN- Big Cotton
Mini Always Summer Top is the children’s version of our women’s style: Always Summer Top. You can see this version here.
This top is knit bottom-up and in two panels. Panels are knitted flat. The front piece features a ribbed bottom followed by alternating vertical stripes of moss stitch and stockinette stitch, while the back piece features a ribbed bottom followed by stockinette stitch. The two pieces are then seamed together at the sides and shoulders.
