Media Press Loose & Drapery Neck Top [Knitting Pattern]
Hi there, I am at Hong Kong Disneyland now and I haven’t forgotten you and my craft blog. It is late at night, weather is nice at around 14°C (57°F), slightly chilling compare to my sunny hot homeland. Here in my cozy hotel room with a chargeable in-room internet service, writing and publishing my knitting pattern. No wonder someone called me workaholic, actually, I like to be named craftaholic instead 
After a few festive celebrations since end of last year, with non-stop eating, zero exercise and long hour of sitting, I am regretful to say that I need something to cover my lower abdominal. Whenever, people look at me, even with a slightest angle to the lower part of me, I am nervous and need to find something to cover my bulging tummy… oh…. can you imagine how bad it is!!!
During working days, I can easily hide this ugly sight by wearing loose fitting clothes that not require any tuck-in. Now, I am at Disneyland on a semi-vacation, I am wearing jeans, pants, T-shirts and I don’t want to let the tummy outshine me in every photo, I need something decent to cover it up. So, I designed an easy to knit “loose & drapery neck top” that look casual yet trendy for this trip. I am so glad to have it completed just in time for the trip.
Unlike many knitting pattern for garments, this pattern doesn’t require arm and neck line shaping. Thus, there is no complicated shaping pattern to follow because everything here is done with straight line. To help in killing the dullness in working with only knit and purl sticthes, I added an optional beginner’s challenge at the back of the pattern – to knit a Stockinette Lace Ladders. You can skip this and replace with the normal Stockinette pattern if you prefer a simple one. The back piece is fast to complete but the front one might take you some times as it is bigger and you need to knit more than 250% of stitches compare to the back pattern.
Hope that you like this easy drapery neck top knitting pattern. I will continue with my vacation and shopping, as always, will gather some information for you on a crafter paradise shopping zone

Greetings!
I think your “Loose & Drapery Knit Top” is so stunning. I truly love it. I don’t knit anymore (arthritis & Carpal Tunnel), but I do crochet. I am wondering if you are considering converting this pattern for crochet. I would be so grateful. Keep up your creative work!

This is a great idea to convert it into crochet. Will put this into my to-do list. Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ve read that it can be really funny to see how Google translates comments that are in another language, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it. I know enough German to be able to tell that there the word “found” only appears once, and the verb is always put last in a German sentence. Oh well, that is a computer for you. Nice pattern, though – I bet it would hide spots on shirts well, too!
