The Bowline Top is a lightweight, elegant knit top with playful bow straps and subtle details – a versatile piece that can be worn year-round depending on how you style it. With its relaxed fit, decorative ties, and delicate ribbed edges, it pairs perfectly with high-waisted trousers, skirts, or layered under a cardigan.

The top is knit seamlessly from the top down. You start with the bow straps, work elegant triangles for the neckline, and then join them for the main body, which is worked in stockinette stitch in the round. Thanks to the top-down construction, you can easily adjust the length to your preference.
