The Nia Breeze Top is an advance beginner pattern that is knitted in the round. It has a small but beautiful lace section in the back. It has slits on both sides at the bottom. Get ready for summer fun with this great knit top. This top should have 0 - 1 inch ease.

Nia Breeze top was inspired by the tropical country Jamaica. I designed this top while preparing for my trip to Jamaica in 2022. I finished knitting the sample while in Jamaica and enjoyed this project while relaxing in a beautiful country. Nia Breeze top was named after my second daughter Anaiah and she is also the model for this top.
