Banana Pie Top

Banana Pie top is a striking and breezy summer piece, constructed from a hexagon motif and its variations. The bold geometric design, formed by the join-as-you-go motifs, creates eye-catching lines and an airy openwork pattern. The V-shaped neckline and straight, relaxed silhouette make it easy to layer over dresses, swimwear, or lightweight tops.

You can turn it into a tunic or beach cover-up by adding extra rows of motifs before the final border row. Keep in mind that the top is evenly elongated, maintaining the same circumference from chest to hem. If you prefer a silhouette that flares out, take a look at the Mavka dress pattern, which uses expanding motifs to shape a wider, flared skirt.
