The chic essential to knit — PDF pattern available in FR/EN

Meet the Alex Top, knit from the top down, seamlessly, with a yoke shaped in short rows for an impeccable fit across the shoulders. Its straight silhouette and crew neckline draw a clean, pared-back piece, while the i-cord finishes — neckline, armholes and hem — trace each contour with a neat, supple edge.

Knit it in a single colour, or in a two-colour version for a more graphic touch. An essential piece, made to last.

✦ Level: intermediate — the short-row and i-cord techniques are explained step by step.
