Thaya DK Top

The Thaya Top is the graceful sister of the original Thaya Sweater—this time re-imagined in a single color and a cozy DK weight yarn. Designed with simplicity and elegance in mind, it features a beautifully textured yoke and a gently scalloped neckline, all worked seamlessly from the top down. While the body flows in soothing stockinette, the hem and cuffs surprise you with charming detail to keep your needles engaged. The pictured version sports flattering ¾-length sleeves—my personal favorite—but the top-down construction allows for effortless customization, whether you prefer short sleeves for summer or full-length for cooler days. The ease across sizes is ¬22-22.5 cm/8.75-9”. The picture shows size 3 with 22.5 cm/9” of positive ease.
