The Brooklyn top is a knitted garment designed as a versatile, everyday wearable. This project creates a finished top suitable for casual styling, making it an ideal piece for knitters looking to expand their garment-making skills with a straightforward construction.
This is a knitting project that employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for beginners. The design focuses on accessible construction methods that build confidence in garment assembly while producing a polished, wearable result.
The Brooklyn top is worked in chunky weight yarn, which offers several advantages for new knitters. Chunky yarn works up quickly on larger needles, reducing overall project time and making stitch definition clear and easy to see. This weight category is forgiving of minor tension inconsistencies, making it ideal for developing knitting skills.

Tell us what you think about it.
I know this is an easy top but I’m a new knitter, and for me, there just wasn’t enough information. I was not sure at what point in the repeat pattern I was supposed to be casting off and also the decrease for the armhole shaping got me completely foxed. I made something up and it looks okay! I will use the pattern again - because it is so easy (once you’ve adjusted it.)
