Maritimes
Introducing the "Maritimes" top, a stunning piece from my exclusive “Back to the Sea" collection, featuring seamless all-season garments designed for both comfort and style. This innovative design ensures that you can create beautiful knitted tops with ease, perfect for layering throughout the year.
The Maritimes top is meticulously crafted to be completely seamless, making it a joy to wear and even more delightful to create. The knitting process begins at the top and flows smoothly downwards. You'll start with the back panel, knitting it first before picking up stitches at the shoulders to work the fronts individually. Once the fronts are complete, the entire piece is seamlessly joined under the arms, allowing you to continue knitting in the round with incredible ease. For added versatility, optional sleeves can be picked up and knitted top-down to customize your look.
One of the standout features of the Maritimes design is the optional hood, which is intricately knit from the neckband upwards. The hood’s finishing touch is achieved using kitchener stitch, adding a polished look that brings your project to life.
