The Joplin Shirt is a relaxed, oversized short sleeve top with a drop shoulder design and a modern, boxy silhouette classic with a subtle twist and a hint of boho charm. Worked from the top down, it features a beautifully textured lace stitch, combining both flat and in the round knitting. Clean 1x1 or 2x2 (both options are included) ribbing finishes the neckline, sleeves, and hem for a polished look. Choose your size based on your preferred amount of ease (I recommend at least 20 cm / 8”) and be sure to read through the entire pattern before you begin.
