Didn’t I just knit a Shakerag Skirt???
Why, yes. Yes I did.
But . . . I have always wanted to knit a Shakerag Top, too. Ever since the pattern first appeared in the MDK Field Guide 6, which came out way back in 2018.
So. I decided to stick with a good thing (the Shakerag theme). . . and make one! Y’know . . . just roll with it, baby!
This was like . . . the fastest sweater I’ve ever knit (about 2 weeks, total). It was so fast I never even blogged about it! And I really love it! I have been considering making another one, actually. Although I’ll probably hold off until next year.
And you know what I discovered?
The Shakerag Top . . . looks great with the Shakerag Skirt!
Thinking in math terms . . .
Shakerag (Skirt + Top) = WINNER!
If you click here (in my Field Notes), you can read the “tech specs” (details) — and see a few more photos!

How about YOU? What are you making this week?
They DO look great together! I’m loving the color pairing. (And your long, long hair!) Enjoy it all.
Look at you, all shakerragish. You look great!
It looks great!
You’re a shakerag fashionista! I love the top and it does look great with the skirt. XOXO
You look so comfortable! The top fits great and definitely goes well with the skirt.
Look at you in your Shakerag Tuxedo!! I like it! Very much!
Oh man! I have toyed with making the Shakerag Top SO MANY times!!! Now that I am (finally) working on the skirt…maybe, just maybe, I can make one too. I think I have some yarn in my stash that will work! Looks great on you Kym. Fabulous with the skirt too. Win-Win…or winner-winner-chicken dinner!!!
That is a fabulous sweater, it looks great on you, and it’s perfect with the Shakerag skirt! I’m not much of a sweater knitter but even I would consider knitting that one. I may be off to see what colors that yarn comes in … 🙂
What a great finish, Kym! You’re on a roll! (ha! see what I did there?! xxoo)
The top looks lovely Kym. I have always wanted to make a summer top and you are inspiring me to do so. Well, maybe after I get rolling on the little rainbow sweater.
Love it!
What fabulous pictures with that fabulous smile – and Jo-Jo to boot. You have me thinking about making that Shakerag top. It looks great on you!
What a great combo!!
That makes a very cute outfit!
What a great outfit!
Perfect combo right there Kym!
What a great pair and so summery, which is hard to do with knitting. Looks great!
You look fabulous and I love the top on you, plus the skirt fits so well, too!
You always do such a beautiful job with your knitting. The top and skirt really looks good on you. I have the Shakerag skirt pattern and was trying to decide if I wanted to make it. After you said it did not get ugly behind I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing your tips. I do enjoy your blog.
OK, two things.
1. It looks fabulous, and with the skirt, it’s clear that you’re just showing off now. 😉
2. I want you to make one for that sweet sweet sweet sweet pup – she would look adorable! 😉
