Top Coton Onctueux n°3 — the freshness of knitted cotton
Designed in our workshops, the Top Coton Onctueux n°3 is a sleeveless summer top, made for hot days and summer evenings. Its cut with thin straps and a soft, open V-neck nicely outlines the shoulders, while the band of openwork stitches below the bust brings a touch of lightness and refinement.
A delicate play of textures
The body is knitted in plain stocking stitch edged with garter stitch, a neat base that shows off the work on fine needles. Above the base ribbing, a band of openwork fancy stitch (charts A.1 and A.2) adds a textured detail that brings the piece to life without overloading it. The neckline slope is formed by progressive decreases, creating a soft, fluid neckline.
