The Shoreline Boatneck Light

The Shoreline Boatneck is a relaxed summer knit designed for effortless everyday wear. With its softly rolled neckline, clean lines, and lightweight drape, this top is the kind of wardrobe staple you’ll reach for again and again — whether layered over linen trousers, worn casually at the beach, or styled for a quiet summer evening out. The pattern is worked bottom-up in the round before separating into front and back pieces at the armholes. Simple stockinette stitch keeps the knitting rhythmic and relaxing, while subtle 1x1 twisted ribbing adds a refined, polished finish. Designed with ease and comfort in mind, The Shoreline features a modern boxy silhouette and minimal shaping, making it an approachable garment project for advanced beginners and enjoyable mindless knitting for more experienced makers.
