Designed to transition from desk to dock this top is a bit longer to remain comfortable when seated.

This top knits up quickly in the round with a little bit of visual interest at the hem where it’s knit flat to create a wave-like ruffle, joined in the round to create a field of eyelet as it travels up the bodice to finish flat and bind off. Add a simple edge to complete the top and you’re ready for a day at the office or out on the water.
