Worked with 2 strands together and in garter stitch, here’s a quick knit for a summer essential, or a layering piece for any occasion: our Trille Top. The Trille Top is worked flat and sideways, with a scooped neck and armhole shaping, and sewed together at the center back. Shoulder straps are worked separately as I-cords from stitches picked up from the top edge.
