Wouldn’t it be awesome if this was your everyday uniform? I can’t think of anything better- unless of course I had a magical wizard robe, a magic wand and perhaps some incredibly awesome self-knitting knitting needles! This is a super fun top- knit it long to be a tunic-style dress, or knit it shorter to make it your favorite sweater. The best part? The self-striping sock yarn will work it’s magic to create these striped sleeves without any effort on your part!

Pattern Notes

Begin at shoulder tops, using a provisional cast on. You will work your way down the back, to just at the underarms, adding armhole shaping along the way. Then the fronts are worked, each side by itself, complete with neck and armhole shaping. After the fronts are completed to the armholes, the fronts and back are joined and the piece is worked in the round to the hem. The self-striping yarn (CC) is used on the sleeves, hood and ribbed edgings only.
