Iridiana is pure joy – pick your four (or two!) favorite colors and play mix and match with them to create a super wearable, lightweight summer top.
Iridiana is worked from the top down, starting with the four triangles that comprise the top. After joining the triangles and casting on stitches for the underarms, the body is worked seamlessly in the round using a clever technique to work intarsia in the round. The folded hem and i-Cord straps are the icing on the cake!
