You liked the "Dilly topper" so much that I thought to myself I have to knit another little something like it. Only this one, is loaded with colors and don't you just love it?
It's the perfect little Doodah to cover your shoulders, anytime of year. Knitted from the top down with a slightly rolled neckline, from where it grows over your shoulders giving you ample space to move around in as you can see in the photos. The lower part gets an another single color added to mush the colors around a bit. It's fun!
It's an easy knit too, just knits, yarn overs and knitting two stitches together. The finished topper measures 11" in height and 97" in the bottom circumference.
