A sleeveless, light summer top with a classic round neckline – simple, timeless and seamlessly worked from the top down.

The Uukii Top is knitted in stockinette stitch and finished with neat I-cord edges at the hem, neckline and armholes. You start at the neckline and work the shoulders flat in rows, then divide the top into front and back. After the armholes, you join everything again and knit in the round to your desired length.

It belongs to the Uukii collection and matches perfectly with the Uukii Cardigan.

Thanks to the top-down construction you can easily try it on and adjust the length individually.
