Knitting For Olive | Aviaya Top Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Lightweight Summer Knit
The Aviaya Top is a beautifully minimalist design that blends clean lines with soft texture, an essential piece for warm days or layering in style. This elegant summer top is worked seamlessly from the top down in a lush half fisherman’s rib, using two strands of Knitting For Olive Pure Silk held together for a lightweight yet luxurious finish.
You’ll begin by shaping the delicate straps and triangular front and back panels, knitting flat before joining in the round below the arms to seamlessly continue the body. Both the front and back are mirror images, making it easy to follow as you knit each side in the same way.
Whether you choose the breathable softness of Merino or the silky drape of Pure Silk, Aviaya is a timeless wardrobe staple with a modern twist.
