Shoreline Top (English)

£6.95

This pattern is in English.

Shoreline Top is a simple V-neck design with a relaxed beach vibe. It looks great over a swimsuit, on its own or even over a shirt/t-shirt. The design features simple edges to create a more casual, laid-back look.

First the back is knitted back and forth with increases to shape the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up along the back to form each shoulder whilst shaping the V-neck. The fronts and back are joined, and stitches cast on for the underarms. The body is then knit back and forth with buttonholes, before finishing with a simple bind-off and some decreases to create a neat finish.
