Made in cotton yarn, the Summer Twist Top will become your wardrobe staple for the hot-weather days!

From the underarm down this top is relaxing stockinette, finished with a Twisted Rib Edging. The yoke is where the fun is! Twisted stitches create large triangle motifs on the Back. Smaller triangles are repeated on the front, just below the scoop neck.

Sleeve Cuffs and Neck Edging are finished with a few Rounds of Twisted Rib Edging. This top is worked seamlessly from the top down with set-in sleeves. Stitches are picked up from the armhole for the sleeves, then the sleeve cap is shaped with short rows.

The written instructions are available in 2 versions - one version for knitting the fronts two at a time, one version for knitting them separately. For my sample, I used Cascade Ultra Pima (100% cotton, 100gr = 220yds/200m).

Size 40 has been tested.
