Soft Shores Top Kit (Transitions)

Description

Capturing the dynamic rhythm of the sea and its marvelous inhabitants, the Soft Shores Top reflects the tender touch of oceanic beauty. Front and back panels in stockinette stitch slant inward, creating a flattering silhouette that's beautifully complimented by widening garter stitch side panels—from underarm to hem.

Crafted in The Fibre Co.’s Transitions—a sport-weight alpaca and wool blend—this top-down knit creates a fabric with a subtle halo that reveals shifting color segments. Neat finishes, like the narrow hem ribbing and i-cord neckline, further enhance its delicate charm. Knit the Soft Shores Top and immerse yourself in the gentle whispers of the sea with every stitch.
