☀️ Summer vibes! The Mellow Mood top is here!
Hello friends,
Can't get enough mellow vibes? Me neither! That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to the newest member of my collection, the Mellow Mood Top!
Do you have a favorite sweater you can't stop wearing? For me, it's definitely the Mellow Mood sweater! But let's face it, it's a bit too cozy for summer, so I decided to create a lighter version.
Let's just say, I fell in love all over again while knitting it, and I know you will too!
📔 Effortless summer knitting
Same as its elder brother Mellow Mood sweater, this project is pure knitting joy – the kind that lets you unwind and relax. The yoke comes together quickly, keeping you motivated as you work all the increases and establish the raglan lines with a beautiful 10-stitch broken rib pattern. Then, it's smooth sailing with effortless knitting in the round.
This time you can choose prefered finishing touch:
Classic 2x2 ribbing: Timeless and elegant for any occasion.
Minimalist i-cord edge: Clean and modern for a fresh summer look.
Beginners, this is for you!
Don't worry if you're new to garment knitting. All of my patterns are designed with adventurous beginners in mind. As long as you know the knit and purl stitches and have tackled projects like scarves or hats, you have the skills to create this top. Plus, I've filmed a helpful video tutorial to guide you through each step and boost your confidence!
🧶 Yarn recommendations:
For my samples, I used DK weight yarn, and 3.5 and 4mm (US 4, US 6) needles.
🐻 The teddy bear color top is knitted with Drops Belle (a cotton & linen blend);
🌸 The powder pink one is made with Sandnes Garn Line (another great cotton & linen option).
