The Threadline Top is a cropped, boxy design that effortlessly blends structure and fluidity. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up, this two-color narrow-striped top features panels of garter stitch and broken rib creating a playful contrast in texture.

The hem uses a half-twisted rib and neat edges at the neckline and armholes are created with an I-Cord Bind-Off, making this top as polished as it is fun to knit.
