The Ruggedly fine top truly earned it’s name…

A loose fitting top knitted with our Linen/Viscose yarn, so it has absolutely great flow and it breathes really well too. The rugged finish in this cool color blocked top is done as shown here with an easy crochet stitch which makes it wonderfully casual. You do have the option to use a simple whip stitch method as well.

Written pattern with video links and schematics.

The length of the top ranges from 19.33” to 27.33”.
