Pattern description

Summer top knitting pattern

Rift Top is perfect for the warm weather season. This modern tank top knitting pattern features a drop stitch detail across the chest and a minimalist silhouette, balancing simplicity with eye-catching texture.

The pattern is worked seamlessly from the top down. Delicate i-cord straps on the shoulders give it a modern, airy look. The Rift Top pattern was designed with both comfort and style in mind, using a summer knitting yarn that’s breathable, soft and drapes nicely. The top is easy to style. Make it a part of your summer wardrobe and wear it with jeans, or dress it up more formal pants.
