Evie Top

Evie Top is a modern, fitted top with a deep v-neckline, open back and adjustable tie bands. The top has a feminine and sculptural look with folded panels across the bust, creating an elegant drape and a unique construction. The tie bands at the back make it possible to adjust the fit individually. The top is knitted from the bottom up. First, the body is knitted in the round in 2x2 rib, creating a fitted silhouette at the waist. The work is then divided into four sections, where two separate panels from the front piece are knitted individually. The panels are folded down and joined together with the back piece using a three-needle bind off, creating the characteristic v-neckline and open back. Lastly, i-cord cords are made at the back to create adjustable tie bands.
