The Soft Air Top is a loosely fitted garment influenced by contemporary fashion trends, featuring a light and breathable alpaca yarn. It makes for a fabulous addition to your wardrobe, suitable for any season.

This top is crafted from the bottom up, incorporating a blend of knit and purl stitches along with a seed stitch pattern.

Initially, the pattern is worked in the round, progressing until the Front and Back sections are separated for the underarms.

Following individual work on the Front and Back sections, proceed to shape the neckline, joining the shoulders with an invisible seam, and completing the neckline with a 1x1 rib.

The final stage in this process is working on the sleeves, completing them with a 1x1 rib.
