The Tulip Top is a simple top with vertical purl ridges as one of its characteristics. The purl ridges help create both structure and form, as the purl ridges take their shape from the curve of the body, and the bust in particular.

The Tulip Top is a versatile top that can be tailored to your exact needs. You can knit it as a bra, a crop top or a longer top, according to your personal preferences. In addition, the top offers a beautiful, strapless alternative , which can be worn alone, under or over clothing. By mounting the straps with snaps, the top can also be worn both with and without straps.

We suggest using one of the following yarn options:

nakedknit cashmere 350 (length / weight: 25 g = 350 m)
