Hipster Top by Joji Locatelli Yarn Kit

Inspired by Joji's popular Hipster Shawls, this tee features the same playful details on the shoulders and adds a fresh twist with simple stripes. It’s a perfect project for anyone looking to add a fun, easy to knit, yet sophisticated piece to their wardrobe.

This top is worked from the shoulders down. The knitting begins with the crossed stitch pattern and then continues downwards towards the back and the fronts. All pieces are then joined at the underarm.

This tee has ZERO finishing requirements, so when you bind off at the bottom, you are done with your top!
