Whispering Breeze is a feminine top that is perfect for everyday wear during the summer. Its unique texture is achieved by using a spotty yarn blend of cotton and linen, creating a sensation reminiscent of being by the seaside. The cotton and linen composition makes the top incredibly comfortable and easy to care for. The straight silhouette allows for freedom of movement, while the wide straps and soft armhole transitions add visual appeal. The V-neckline visually elongates the neck.

The top is worked from the bottom up, allowing for easy length adjustments during the final fitting. The wide straps ensure comfort and a secure fit.

The top is worked in the round until the armholes, after which the back and front are worked separately. The straps are joined using a stretch stitch, resulting in a seamless design. This versatile knit top will beautifully complement a range of shirts or jackets, adding a stylish touch to your wardrobe.
