ABOUT THE DESIGN

The word ‘lupiini’ is a Finnish name for lupine flowers. This summer knit top was inspired by the large-leaved lupines that can be found in southern Finland and also in western North America!

Lupiini Top is a v-neck cropped knit top which is worked top down flat for front and back pieces until the underarm. Both pieces are joined in the round for the body.

The body has a stitch pattern detailing that consists of bobbles and lace. The top has a double folded hem which is hand sewn in the end.
