Knitting Tops, shirts
Freshwater by Emma Wright
This lacy summer top has a sleek, fitted look, yet is comfortable to wear as the fabric is very soft and stretchy. The pretty star-like texture is worked using two strands of laceweight yarn held together. Designer Emma Wright has chosen Sublime's new Lace yarn, a super-soft Australian merino that comes in a range of delicious colours.

Monochromatic colors, especially ones that include texture, provide the perfect basis for multiple wardrobe looks. The stitch pattern that designer Laura Zukaite uses in her Cool Running Top, a lace rib stitch, creates a subtle zigzag edging to both the lower edge of the top as well as the sleeves. Knitted entirely in the round using Trendsetter Yarn's Twiggy.

Sometimes the most effective designs are the ones that look simple but have touches of something different. Laura Zukaite's Diamond District, in Crystal Palace Yarn's Panda Silk, is just that type of design, with the added touches being the shaped sleeve-edge ribbing. The body of the top is worked in an easy Diamond Lace Pattern, letting the subtle shades of the yarn shine.

Young, fun and so "city", Asymmetry, designed by Leslie Roth in Shi Bui's Linen, is incredibly light and airy. Leslie's top is knitted side-to-side with the lower edges slanting purely through the decreases in the pattern stitch. Asymmetry's "edge" is defined by its exposed seams and accented by its openwork border, mirrored at the neckline.
