A simple and light summer top in broken rib. The upper part consists of 4 identical triangles, each with fine accented double increases that branch out along the edges.

The top is designed to be tight fitting and the flexible ribbed pattern complements the curves of the body.

The top is worked top-down, beginning with a provisional cast-on at the shoulder strap. Double knitted edges are worked along the way.

The 4 triangles are made in pairs by working in both directions from the provisional cast-on. The straps can be lengthened or shortened to adapt the fit to your body type.

All parts are gathered at the sides with Kitchener stitch. When the work is assembled, you work in the round in broken rib to the desired length and finally finish with an Italian bind-off.
