Concept
The Streamline Top is a celebration of rhythmic texture and modern simplicity. This design features a captivating sequence of alternating ribbing patterns that create elegant vertical lines, offering a flattering and “streamlined” silhouette for any occasion. Whether knitted in a dreamy mohair halo or a crisp linen blend, this top transforms to suit your personal style.

Construction
This is a seamless, top-down design. It begins with a provisional cast-on, followed by German Short Rows to meticulously shape the neckline and shoulder slope. The piece is then joined to work in the round, with integrated increases for the sleeves and body. The neckline is elegantly finished with a professional I-cord bind-off.

Customization options
• Neckline: Choose between a romantic Tie-back with an I-cord bow or a classic Button-back closure. 
• Sleeves: Detailed instructions are provided to create either a standard fit or a lovely bell-shaped silhouette.
