Introducing my Sunset Beach knitting pattern - your must-have for sun-soaked days! Crafted with a breathable cotton/linen blend, this top keeps you cool and stylish from beach to office.
Designed for versatility, Sunset Beach boasts an effortless fit that gracefully flatters various body types, thanks to its subtle A-line silhouette. Beginning with a smooth stockinette stitch, the fabric gradually transitions into a captivating texture that grows denser towards the hem, adding depth and visual interest to your ensemble.
Starting with a seamless provisional cast-on at the shoulder blades, the design flows effortlessly into delicate straps and joins the front and back for easy, round knitting.
For maximum impact, choose a solid colour to showcase every detail of this stunning pattern. Elevate your summer wardrobe with Sunset Beach Knitting Pattern today!
