Bold Stripes Top

"Hello everyone! Since I've made the Bold Stripes Skirt, my mind was set on making a matching top. I was actually two thirds of the way done with it when I ran out of yarn. What delayed me from finishing it that was that I purchased the yarn while I was traveling, and my local store did not have this particle kind. So as soon as I could get my hands on more of that yarn, I was done. You see, the cool thing about working with bulky yarn (compared to lesser yarn weights) is that it makes knitting so much easier; simple pattern looks nice with it, and you finish the piece you’re working on in no time. This piece is a crop top of sorts, non the less, if you prefer, you can make it longer and get a full-length sweater. The available sizes range from small to 2XL, but in case you want to knit a larger size, let me know in a comment. Enjoy making this two-piece set and have nice knitting days."
