Knitting For Olive | Line Top Pattern & Yarn Pack
Sleek Stripes with a Modern Edge
The Line Top is a chic, modern design that plays with stripes and structure in the most effortless way. Worked sideways as one continuous piece, this top is a joy to knit and to wear. Beginning with a provisional cast-on, you’ll move through the armholes, front, second armhole and back, before grafting the body seamlessly with Kitchener stitch for an invisible join.
Shaped with a clever mix of increases, decreases, cast-ons, bind-offs, and German short rows, the Line Top offers just the right balance of interest for the knitter. Finished with neat i-cord edges at the armholes, straps, and neckline, it’s not only polished but also durable and long-lasting.
Its striped design gives you endless creative freedom. Choose bold, high-contrast colours for a statement piece, or keep it soft and subtle with low-contrast tones for an understated look. Either way, the Line Top delivers timeless versatility that will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.
Our Line Top Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 2 x Pure Silk yarn (base colour), 1 x Pure Silk yarn (stripes), and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the XS-S pattern sizes. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
