Kuutar Top
The Kuutar top is knitted seamlessly from the top down with the beautiful lace pattern on the front and back. The back and front are knitted separately down to the armholes. Then the pieces are joined and the body is knitted in the round. The hem is folded double to give the top a neat and finished look. The top of the front and back are finished with an i-cord edging that continues seamlessly into the straps.
The Kuutar top is best suited for cotton, viscose or linen blend yarns with good stitch definition. I recommend choosing unicolor or slightly tonal colorways for the lace to show.
