The striped Nautica Top is the perfect summer design that brings an effortlessly chic marina vibe to your handmade wardrobe. It is a seamless, bottom-up pattern that begins in the round with a classic, stretchy ribbed hem. The body features timeless stockinette stripes, with gentle shaping achieved through evenly spaced decreases along the sides to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit.

As the work progresses, the piece is divided into front and back panels, which are then knitted flat to beautifully shape the armholes and neckline. The design focuses heavily on the details, completed by contrasting ribbed straps that frame the upper body. For a truly professional and cohesive look, all edges are secured with a highly elastic finish, giving the top incredibly neat, well-structured edges.
