KAYA CASHMERE TOP
The Kaya Top can be knitted either as a sleeveless top or with long sleeves. It is worked from the bottom up in the round using 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm circular needles. The work begins with a ribbed long hem, before transitioning to stockinette stitch on larger needles. When the body, front, and back are completed, they are seamed together at the shoulders using the Kitchener stitch for a neat and almost invisible finish. Stitches are then picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are worked downwards. The top features a simple and timeless boat neckline, and the front and back are identical.

The top is knitted using the super soft and fine recycled cashmere yarn from Onion, but it can also be made using other yarns of a similar weight. The result is a light and luxurious garment that feels soft against the skin. It will quickly become a wardrobe favourite, and works for all seasons.

KAYA KASHMIR TOPP

Kaya-toppen kan strikkes enten som en ermeløs eller som en langermet topp. Den strikkes nedenfra og opp på rundpinne 2.5 og 4.0. Arbeidet starter med vrangbord før det går over til glattstrikk på større pinner. Når bolen, forstykket og bakstykket er ferdig, sys de sammen over skuldrene med maskesting for en pen og nesten usynlig sammenføyning. Deretter plukkes det opp masker rundt ermehullene, og ermene strikkes nedover. Toppen har en enkel og tidløs båthals, og er lik foran og bak.

Toppen er strikket i det supermyke og tynne, resirkulerte kashmirgarnet fra Onion, men kan også strikkes i andre garn med tilsvarende tykkelse. Resultatet er et lett og luksuriøst plagg som føles mykt mot huden. Den blir fort en favoritt i garderoben, og passer like fint gjennom alle årstider.
