Available in a classic or crop top version, it combines two sizes of openwork stitches, a river stitch as well as 1/1 ribbing.

The tutorial can be followed with the stitch description and/or the diagram of your choice.

SEAMLESS (from top to bottom back and forth, then in the round):

The Brazil Top is knitted from the top down with a DK/Sport cotton and linen yarn, using openwork and river stitches. The shoulders are knitted separately, then joined at the back to form a tube in the round after creating the armholes and neckline. The bottom is finished with 1x1 ribbing.

WITH SEAM (flat, from bottom to top back and forth):

The Brazil Top is knitted from the bottom up with a DK/Sport cotton and linen yarn, in 1x1 rib, openwork stitches in two sizes, and a river stitch. The back is knitted, then the front is worked flat. The waist is formed by decreases and increases, followed by the armholes and neckline. The 1x1 rib finishes are achieved by picking up stitches at the armholes and neckline.
