The Amarta is a sleeveless top with a modern minimalist design. Knitted seamlessly from the top down using simple stockinette stitches with slip stitch detailing along the edges and sides for a subtle texture and visual interest.

This versatile vest features a flattering deep V-neckline, clean i-cord edges and the option of the closures using i-cord ties, buttons, or simply leave it as open vest.

You could knit in plant-based fibres like the sample as a summer top, or you may also knit it using wool and layer it with a long sleeve or even a turtleneck for added warmth in the winter.
