Z Top

> Celebrate the launch of Z Top! Enjoy > 20% off with code **BURRATA**. Valid > until October 6th, 2026. Z Top is a simple yet playful vest. The lace checker pattern on the body extends in slanted lines, while the neck and hem use staggered knit and purl stitches to create diagonal textures running in opposite directions. These elements echo each other, together outlining a Z-shaped silhouette that is both structured and airy. The top is worked from the bottom up. Work in the round from hem to underarm, then divide for front and back. The back shoulders are shaped with German short rows, and the front and back are seamed at the shoulders. Finally, pick up and work the armhole edgings. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8) Finished bust circumference: 88 (94, 100, 106, 112) (124, 135, 147) cm 34¾ (37, 39½, 41¾, 44) (48¾, 53¼, 57¾) in Designed with 15-20 cm (6–8 in) of positive ease.
