Summer in the city top
The Backless Summer Top is the perfect companion for warm days – airy, modern, and with an elegant twist. The open strap back construction makes it a real eye-catcher, while the relaxed fit ensures a comfortable wearing experience.
Thanks to its simple construction and the use of 4 mm needles, the top knits up quickly – an ideal project for late summer or vacation time. It looks especially beautiful in summery yarns with a linen blend, but fine glitter yarns or sequin threads also turn it into a sophisticated top for special occasions.
The shoulder sections are shaped using German short rows to create a good fit. Increases follow at the sides before the front is knit straight down. The straps are worked separately in double knitting and later attached to the sides and upper back – ensuring the top stays in place and the deep back neckline is perfectly highlighted.
The pattern includes instructions for four sizes (XS–L), a detailed size chart, a gauge swatch, and recommendations for yarns and techniques.
This model is ideal for knitters with basic skills in knitting, increasing and decreasing, and short row shaping.
