Fata Morgana Top is a light summer top with a boat neckline, inspired by the shimmering mirage that appears in hot air. It is worked from the bottom up in separate pieces and then seamed, creating a clean and structured fit.
The top is designed to sit close to the body, with minimal ease for a neat, well-fitted silhouette. The neckline, hem, and armholes are finished with a 2-stitch i-cord, adding a delicate and polished edge.
The pattern includes detailed written instructions for the key steps, with photos and video links for selected techniques.
