What you need to know

Slip into Jo Allport's simple stylish top for all-day, easy livin’

We’re all looking for a relaxed fit and superb comfort, and Jo Allport’s sleeveless top in a bamboo and cotton mix is just heaven to wear. The wide rib lends this design a flattering fit without being too clingy, and we’re happy to confirm that the petal-flared edge is flippy enough for a little twirl! Be prepared to start off on a circular needle as this darling make starts off with a good number of stitches for that special ruffle, but this quickly reduces to a third for the simple column rib pattern.
