Agatha is a sleek and feminine halter top designed for those in-between days when summer shifts constantly between sunshine and breeze. Worked seamlessly from the top down, it features a cozy folded turtleneck, flattering rib texture, and neat neckline finishing. Knitted in cotton or plant-based fibers, Agatha creates a light and breathable fabric that is perfect for summer layering — elegant worn on its own or under a cardigan, blazer, or light jacket.

Construction Note
Agatha is worked seamlessly from the top down. The construction begins with the turtleneck, worked in the round. The Front Neck shaping is achieved with short rows for a more comfortable and flattering fit, then finished with a neat double-knit band.
After the neck shaping is completed, the Front and Back are worked separately in rows, with halter-style shaping across the yoke. The pieces are then joined at the underarm and the body is worked seamlessly in the round to the hem.
