ALOHA TOP
KNITTING PATTERN
Aloha Top is a gorgeous summer top in the boho style with beautiful openwork, braids and ties with tassels. Perfect for summer days at the beach and hot days in the city.
The top is knitted top down flat. First, the back is made. Then the front is created. The front is seamlessly joined with the back by picking up the stitches of the back to shape the neckline. The top is finished with Picot and Icord bind off techniques. At the very end, the Icord ties are made and the tassels are fixed.
