Fino summer top is an airy, light-weight summer top knit in 100% linen, a fibre that feels great on the skin and allows the garment to breathe in hot summer days.

The top is knitted sideways from the center, working to the edge while incorporating the shoulder shaping.

The combination of using ribbing, lace, short rows, and simple decrease techniques helps shape the top for a better fit, as well as create a beautiful texture.

The top is finished with a simple i-cord border around the neckline and armholes for a modern silhouette.
