The Ocean Dream top is a timeless striped knit with clean, refined finishing details. The neckline and armholes are finished with elegant I-cord edges, giving the garment a polished and modern look designed to remain a wardrobe favourite for years to come.
The top is worked from the top down, allowing you to easily adjust the length of the body to your preference. The armholes are shaped with increases, and the body is worked in the round. The neckline and armholes are finished with an I-cord edging, while the hem is worked in a short ribbing section and bound off using an Italian bind-off. These finishing techniques create a neat, professional look.
The sample garment is knitted in Drops Belle, a linen blend yarn with a subtle sheen that gives the top an elegant appearance. Any DK-weight yarn with a yardage of approximately 50 g = 100–130 m can be used as a substitute. Your yarn choice will influence the overall look of the garment.
