VITA CAMI

 

La dolce vita, but make it knit ♡

This design is a pure celebration of spring and summer knitting with its playful striped chevron pattern, v-neck both in front and back, mini picot edging, comfortable and adjustable straps, and simple straight silhouette.

The cami is knit from the top down, so it is easy to pick a perfect desired length. This pattern can be worked in any number of colors from one
(let those textures reign!) to as many as you have. It is perfect for using up leftover yarn or mini skeins.
