Iris Summer Top

Iris Summer Top is a soft and light summer favorite featuring an elegant eyelet pattern that creates a delicate, leaf-inspired look. A top you’ll reach for again and again – whether for everyday wear, summer parties, or long days at the beach. The top is worked from the top down, allowing you to easily adjust the length and fit as you go, so you can achieve exactly the fit that suits you.

Knit the top in Önling No 14, our luxurious summer yarn made from 100% Lyocell, for a beautiful, lightly lustrous finish. If you prefer a more relaxed look, you can choose our Everyday Kit with Önling No 12 and Önling No 13 held together.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure
The top is worked in the round from the top down. A crocheted provisional cast-on is used so the neckline can be adjusted afterwards. Short rows are worked at the beginning to shape the shoulders and back of the neck to ensure a good fit. The yoke is worked in the round with a leaf pattern. The work is then divided into body and sleeves and finished separately.
