Which summer top suits you?
Crop top, tank top or classic camisole: You decide which cut you want to knit. Summer tops usually require less yarn than a winter sweater and are often finished faster. This also makes them wonderful small projects for on-the-go, such as for a relaxed afternoon at the outdoor pool.
Tank Top: casual and versatile
A tank top usually has wide straps and generous armholes. The cut resembles a sleeveless T-shirt and looks pleasantly uncomplicated.
With a beautiful textured pattern, your knitted tank top goes well with denim shorts and sneakers. It can be combined just as well with a blazer for a dressier look. A bold color adds a special accent.
Crop top: cut short, freely combined
A crop top ends above or at the waist. How short you want it and how much midriff you show is entirely up to you.
You also have a choice for the neckline: high-necked, a bit lower, or entirely according to your favorite pattern. Bright colors work just as well as a simple natural tone. With wide-leg pants or bell bottoms, you pick up on the retro look; high-waisted pants leave only a little skin visible between the top and the waistband.
Which yarns are suitable for summer tops?
Cotton and viscose yarns are particularly suitable for summer tops. They feel pleasantly cool and soft on the skin and are a good choice for lightweight clothing. If you want to give your top a more elegant touch, linen or silk are also options.
Whether it's a simple basic pattern or an elaborate structure: choose a yarn that suits the desired model. Our summer yarns offer you many colors and qualities for this.
Spaghetti Top: summery light
Narrow straps give your top a particularly light look. Whether loosely draped or knitted close to the body: a spaghetti top is perfect for warm days and can be combined in many ways.
A color gradient is reminiscent of a sunset, a strong solid color adds a pop of color to your outfit, and white looks fresh and simple. Choose the version that you like and that matches your summer wardrobe.
