Kaia Turtleneck Top

Kaia Turtleneck Top is a fitted, sleeveless knitted top featuring a classic turtleneck and a feminine, body-hugging silhouette. The design is clean and timeless, with subtle shaping at the waist and bust, creating a flattering fit that is easy to style. The top is worked from the bottom up, first in the round and then back and forth after dividing the work into front and back sections. The shoulders are joined again at the neckline, which is finished with a twisted rib turtleneck.
