Hi, my treasured friend! This week we have a special treat for you! Oh my gosh… It’s a gorgeous knitted top pattern (for adults and teeny friends) called Keziah, and I hope you’ll love it!
I am so in love with this sweet top that I got a wild wind and knitted a teeny tiny version for my friend… oh my gosh. The cuteness is too much!
Keziah is a fun summer top pattern designed by CheVon Bell. (The mini version is available here and is a great option to test out the pattern before making the full adult size). It is made using our Resilient Sock yarn for a comfortable top that will wear well and resist pilling, making it last and last. Plus this yarn is so soft and boingy!!
CheVon says, “As a designer, I love when ideas just POP into my head. This was one of those ideas. I originally planned to do one idea for the front panels; but as I was working out the details, the idea of overlapping them became more compelling.
I had worked with Resilient Sock yarn for a while, and it was calling to be made into something light, soft, and wearable–with a few quirky construction skills thrown into the mix.
The loose fit allows for it to be worn over another shirt on cooler days, or it can be worn by itself on warmer days. So much versatility in a simple sleeveless top.
Check out my journey below, knitting the teeny tiny miniature version for my friend!
She is so cute and she loved it so much! I also threw her a tiny tea party! Download this mini version here.
Have a look:
The next time you have a rainy day, cozy up and knit a teeny sweater. I promise, it will be so satisfying! What shall I knit my friend next?
Whether going to a tea party or just heading to the grocery store, I hope you LOVEEE wearing your new Keziah. You can add length to it easily if you prefer, or add sleeves! Completely up to you. What color would you make yours in, dahling?
The design is quite simple and straightforward! An adventurous beginner to intermediate knitter can totally tackle this one.
Here are some techniques used in the pattern:
How to Work the Mattress Stitch
The applied I-Cord edging around the neckline gives it a lovely, finished look, don’t you think?
I love wearing this over jeans or skirts or dresses. It’s really versatile!
I made my friend a matching skirt too so we’re twins!
Alrighty, precious friend. Be sure to download the full version here and the mini version here and get the yarn here.
Soak up this marvelous day, throw a tea party, drink up life! It’s a gift! A treasure. A blessing.

Perfection! Dena Danielle’s Barbie should come for tea with y’all sometime.
Yes! 😍😍
That tea party is so cute! Fun to watch everything come together! Thank you!
What an awesome knitting story set to music. I found it to be very calming and sweet. This is a perfect short project and plan to knit these sweaters for the grandaughters dolls for Christmas.
what a beautiful video, she makes it look so easy. I love the colours and the entire video. what a beautiful girl. I have just received the pattern.
I have learned so much about knitting and crocheting since I found you and this site! I still consider myself new at it even though I’ve made a couple of sweaters. But when I saw this pattern Keziah I thought oh my gosh I would love to be able to make this! I didn’t have much hope for it though because it looked complicated to me at first glance. When I watch this video of you making a mini version I thought I think I can do this. So just to be on the safe side I think I will make the mini Keziah first.
I have begun The Keziah sweater. I’m knitting the left front panel and the next instructions is (Decrease section). please tell me what this means. I did watch the video of tiny sweater but doesn’t seem to address this. Thanks, Maureen
Maureen, this is where you just start decreasing the left front panel. It creates the narrowing shape from waist to shoulder for that section. Do let us know if you need more help!
