Anna Top
A delicate and heartfelt design, the Anna Top is a sleeveless summer knit that blends clean lines with soft, thoughtful details.

This lightweight top is worked from the bottom up. It begins with a ribbed hem and flows into a stockinette body, framed by elegant twisted rib panels at the sides. Once you reach the armholes, the front and back are worked separately, with shoulder shaping created using short rows. The shoulders are joined seamlessly with a 3-needle bind-off.

A soft touch of nostalgia is added at the neckline, where stitches are picked up and finished in laceweight Superkid Mohair—a tribute to delicate mohair shawls and my mother Anna, an advanced knitter whose love for lace inspired this design.

The Anna Top is a timeless piece, easy to wear and filled with meaning. Whether layered or worn on its own, it adds a personal, graceful touch to any outfit.
