Cold Shirt

My daughter inspired me to design this simple cute summer top. She kept asking me to make a “cold shirt” for her, which she describes as “a shirt that shows my belly and has no sleeves”.

All the variations presented here are based on this simple design, and show you what you can do and how easy it is to create your own unique version. Let your imagination guide you! 

This particular pattern took all my free time for several months. As a result, "Cold Shirt" is now a 17 page document. It has detailed instructions, pictures, diagrams, and charts. All is lovingly tested and written as to create the most enjoyable experience for any knitter.

Hope you all will like my new creation. It will please me greatly to see your own versions of this cute summer top. Happy knitting everyone!
