Inspired by a mermaid’s day out, the “Ariel Wave Top” is a sleeveless knit top that captures the varied textures of the summer sea. Worked in refreshing stitch patterns reminiscent of gentle waves, seashells, and coral reefs, this lovely design features a flared silhouette that adds a cheerful and charming feel.
The top is worked from the shoulders down. First, work two rectangular shoulder pieces flat, then join the body below the underarm and continue in the round. For the neckline, choose either the square neck or the V-neck to suit your personal style. The main textured pattern gradually increases in size toward the hem, creating a natural A-line silhouette.
