Light, breezy, and effortlessly stylish, the Felipe is designed for comfort with a modern silhouette. Featuring generous batwing sleeves and a relaxed fit, this top is knit seamlessly for an easy, fluid drape. It’s worn with the opening at the back, closed with a ribbon for a subtle, feminine detail.

Worked in soft, breathable cotton, the Felipe is ideal for warm-weather wear and perfect for layering through the seasons. This version uses three complementary colors, adding depth and visual interest to the simple shape—whether you go bold with contrast or soft with tonal shades, the color blocking brings a playful, contemporary edge to this timeless design.

This pattern has been tech edited and awaiting test knitting, beyond the sample.
