The Adèle top is a round-neck sleeveless top, adorned with crossed slipped stitch lines creating a faux raglan effect that delicately structures the silhouette. Its twisted ribs extended along the body and neat finishes make it a timeless piece, as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear. Intermediate level pattern 3/5, video tutorials available on our YouTube channel.

Construction: The Adèle top is knitted from top to bottom, seamlessly, combining flat and in-the-round construction. After the upper back, the shoulders are shaped using short rows, incorporating an elegant graphic of crossed slipped stitches. Front and back are then joined under the armholes, allowing the twisted rib borders to extend into textured panels along the body.
