VIVA CAMI

 

Viva summer! This design is a pure celebration of warmer weather knits. Playful striped chevron pattern, v-neck both in front and back, comfortable and adjustable straps, and simple straight silhouette make Viva an easy companion for warmer weather.

Cami is worked from the top down, so it is easy to pick a perfect desired length - from a crop to a full length piece. This pattern can be knit in any number of colors and is perfect for using up leftover yarn or mini skeins.
