This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Easy top down project. The shape is oversized with kimono sleeves. This top is a crossover between Poncho / Short sleeve top / Vest.

The cream one is knitted with Shibui “Rain” Size 1 with cropped length. The gray one is knitted with Juniper Moon Farm “Zooey” Size 1 with full length.

I like to wear the cropped one with wide leg pants. Full length one with skinny jeans :)

Juniper Moon Farm Zooey

You can knit this piece with cotton ~ linen ~ wool, depending on how you would like to wear it. I love the feel and look of Shibui “Rain”. Since this is an oversized top, I don’t recommend knitting with alpaca based yarn… would be heavy and stretch out too much.
