Depending on whether you choose to knit this **maddy laine **pattern in a cotton-linen blend or a sparkly metallic yarn, the resulting topper could easily take you from the beach to the ballroom.
This design is not meant to be a long hip-covering poncho, it’s a summer topper. The lower edges (the cast-on and cast-off rows) will sit near the waistline. The pattern includes a schematic to check finished measurements.
A knitter can choose to wear the neckline as a V-neck or crew neck style.
Optional buttonholes can be worked in the side borders.
