Runway

This effortless top is set to become an Summer wardrobe!

Knitted in the round from the bottom upwards using Midwinter Yarn's gorgeous light fingering weight Lithuanian linen, the shoulders are joined using a 3-needle bind-off and the cap sleeves are then picked-up and knitted downwards to the delicate moss stitch border. The bands of colour are separated with a pretty eyelet detail which enhances the sheerness of the fabric.

Easy to style over a vest top with jeans or shorts, or layered with a dress as shown, the pattern can easily be lengthened by working an additional stripe before commencing the armhole shaping to create a tunic type garment - what a fabulous cover-up for the beach!
