Sew the Extra Credit Knit Wrap Top: Charm Patreon Exclusive Pattern (February 2024)

This month at Charm School: The Extra Credit Wrap Top -- a new take on a longtime Charm favorite, Butterick 6285/Simplicity 9288, now available in our updated size range and with A–H cup sizes. This V-neck wrap knit top has a unique wrap construction and is fully lined. Plus, it comes in two length options! The hip-length top is great for tucking into skirts or wearing over another garment, while the cropped-length top ends at the natural waist—a perfect length if you would like the challenge of adding a self-drafted skirt to create a wrap dress. We’ve also included two sleeve-length options. And with the full lining, you could also make the top reversible. So many different variations, all from one easy knit pattern!
