The Kurt Top is a relaxed fit sleeveless top with a wide set, deep vee neckline and cinched lower rib band. An easy silhouette in a mock rib stitch perfect for warmer months or layered in cooler months.
The Kurt Top is knit bottom up. It's worked in the round, split at the side seams for armhole openings and then seamed together at the shoulders.
Twisted rib is a variation on a 1 X 1 rib that is knit through the back loops and creates a stronger rib visual.
Mock rib is formed by alternating a 1 X 1 rib row with an all knit row from the right side to create a slight waffle rib effect.
