Louna top (English)

Louna is a relaxed ribbed linen top perfect for sunny summer days! the K2P2 ribbing is the focal point of the design. I recommend choosing a thin linen yarn for this project to give the top an airy feel. Louna has a very simple and modern design making it your go-to effortless lightweight summer top for everyday wear.

Louna is worked from the bottom up in the round until you reach the armholes. Then, the front and back pieces are worked flat and separately until they reach full length. The sleeve holes are shaped at each side of the piece to ensure a snug fit and a straight neckline is worked on the top.
