Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
The Frilling Top Kit is your go-to project for effortless summer style. Designed by Zanete Knits, this elegant sleeveless top features soft, feminine ruffles at the neckline and a breezy eyelet pattern throughout the body—perfect for staying cool while looking chic. The top is knit seamlessly from the top down, with thoughtful shaping techniques including short rows, lifted increases, and a provisional cast-on for a smooth neckline. The front shoulders are worked separately before joining at the neckline, continuing to the underarm and then worked in the round to the hem. A neatly finished collar is worked last, adding polish to this wearable, warm-weather staple.
This kit pairs the pattern with The Fibre Co.'s Amble, a soft fingering-weight yarn that blends Merino wool, alpaca, and recycled nylon. Light yet structured, Amble brings the perfect drape to the ruffles and crisp definition to the eyelet details, while remaining breathable and comfortable next to the skin. Its moisture-wicking properties and gentle elasticity make it an ideal match for this top-down summer knit—ensuring a flattering fit and lasting wear. Whether you're strolling through the city or relaxing in the backyard, the Frilling Top in Amble offers a sophisticated blend of style and substance.
