Linen Top is a timeless, minimalist piece you’ll reach for again and again. Its relaxed fit pairs effortlessly with jeans, linen pants, shorts, or skirts. The open texture keeps it light and breathable, while the simple, repetitive stitches make it a relaxing and enjoyable project from start to finish.

The pattern is designed to be flexible and beginner-friendly. Adjust the width, body length, armhole depth, and sleeve length to suit your style. The top is worked from the bottom up in two simple panels (Front and Back), which are joined together before the sleeves are worked directly into the armholes.
