Fresh, cool, and full of possibility, our Spring Top knitting pattern is a sleeveless top with a roomy fit, a slightly cropped length, and a fabric that’s equal parts fluid and structured... Just right for every moment from April to October!
- Cast on with Morning our soft and breathable yarn made from organically grown cotton and yak. This machine-washable DK-weight yarn has an incredibly soft feel, a smooth hand, and sculptural stitch definition… An absolute pleasure to knit!
- You knit the Spring Top from the bottom up in the round with minimal shaping, dividing at the underarms to work the front and back separately. Most of the pattern is soothing stockinette, but vertical pinstripes formed by knitting into the stitch below add subtle texture and a deeply satisfying rhythm as you knit. A simple technique with big impact!
- To complete your top, you’ll attach the front straps to the sloped shoulders in the back, then trim the neckline, armholes, and hem with an easy I-Cord Bind Off. We have handy tutorials to walk you through all those lovely details!
Morning comes in 14 up-with-the sun colors that follow the light from green spring to bright midsummer and into golden autumn… Pick your favorite and cast on for a Spring Top that will carry you through the seasons, from the first warm breeze to the last golden leaf!
