A light and feminine summer knit with elegant lines and effortless charm.

The Noa Top is a graceful warm-weather garment worked from the bottom up in the round, beginning with a neat ribbed hem. The body is knit in smooth stockinette stitch and features a delicate lace panel at the center, which flows beautifully into the V-neckline and continues along the straps. This vertical detail adds a flattering, elongating effect to the silhouette.

At the armholes, the top is divided and worked flat. The front and back are then joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind-off for a clean, seamless finish. The construction is intuitive and satisfying—perfect for advanced beginners and beyond who enjoy meditative knitting with elegant results.

Whether worn on its own or layered over a dress or blouse, the Noa Top is a versatile, timeless piece that adds a soft touch of sophistication to any summer outfit.
