Laurus Top

Introducing the Laurus Top, a delightful circular yoke knitting pattern that combines comfort with style. This design is worked seamlessly from the top down, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. Begin by crafting the neck, and then enhance the fit with several strategically placed short rows for a beautifully shaped finish that flatters the upper body.

The yoke is expertly shaped with evenly distributed increases that create a perfect fit around the entire circumference of your upper body, making this top ideal for various body types. After completing the yoke, the sleeves are placed on hold, allowing you to focus on knitting the body seamlessly toward the hem for an elegant silhouette.

Once you’ve finished the body, it’s time to return to the sleeves. For the short-sleeve version, simply place the held sleeve stitches back on your needles and bind them off using the i-cord cast-off technique, which adds a professional-looking edge. If you prefer the sophisticated ¾ sleeve length, continue working the sleeve stitches toward the cuffs, incorporating a few decreases in the last round, then complete with an i-cord cast-off for a refined finish.

The Laurus Top is perfect for knitters of various skill levels, and its versatile design allows for endless customization. Whether you're looking for a stylish summer top or a cozy layer for cooler days, this pattern will quickly become a favorite in your wardrobe.
