The Brighton Summer Top is inspired by the vibrant spirit of Brighton — its sunny beaches, playful energy, and unmistakable rock-and-roll edge.
It is designed to have a negative ease of 5 to 10 cm. You can choose to wear it long or cropped, depending on your personal style. In the photo, I am wearing the XS version, and my bust circumference measures 83 cm.

It is knitted in Mandarin Petit by Sandness Garn but it could be knitted in DK weight or fingering weight.

  • Choosing a sport or light DK weight yarn will result in a denser, more structured fabric.
  • Opting for a fingering weight yarn will give your top a softer, flowier drape with a lighter feel.
