You can always use a new summer sweater in your wardrobe! This little sweater made from Lana Grossa 365 Cotone and Katia Louisiana is fun to knit and a joy to wear. The simple design takes on an elegant look thanks to the twisted stockinette stitch, and it’s also perfect for beginner knitters!
Lana Grossa 365 Cotone is a high-quality, finely twisted yarn that can be worn year-round. When paired with the Katia Lousiana textured yarn, it’s ideal for larger knitting and crochet projects such as light, airy sweaters or cardigans—and, of course, tops!
Tools & Supplies:
- 3 (4) balls of Lana Grossa 365 Cotone, color 35
- 4 (5) balls of Katia Louisiana, color 70

The top is a slightly shorter style, but it will stretch out a bit more with wear due to the use of cotton yarns. Would you like to knit it a little longer? If so, use one additional Ball of each yarn type for both sizes.
