Hand Knitted Cotton Summer Top Kit - by Caidree

Your New Favourite Handmade Summer Layer

The Sleeveless Top by Caidree is the sort of piece that looks as though it belongs on a sun-drenched holiday, thrown over linen trousers or paired with your favourite denim. With its relaxed bohemian feel, delicate lace-like texture and effortless shape, this hand knitted summer top kit is a beautiful project that creates a timeless piece you'll reach for year after year.

Knitted seamlessly from the top down, this top features a gorgeous textured stitch that gives the appearance of crochet while keeping all the comfort and flexibility of knitting. The airy fabric, open crew neckline, deep arm openings and neat i-cord edging create a modern, relaxed silhouette with just the right amount of handcrafted charm.

Included in the kit is our much-loved Rico Essentials Cotton DK, a beautifully soft yet durable 100% cotton yarn that’s perfect for everyday wear. It has a smooth, breathable feel with just the right amount of structure, giving your finished piece a clean stitch definition and a lovely natural drape. Ideal for warmer-weather knits, it stays cool against the skin while still feeling reassuringly substantial, making it a go-to choice for garments you’ll reach for again and again. And our kit comes in a Natural cream, Beige and Blue - choose your favourite colour and your size and start knitting! :-)

A Joyful Knit with a Beautiful Finish

Designed with approximately 5 to 10cm of positive ease, you can choose your size depending on whether you prefer a slightly more fitted look or a looser, easy-going summer style. The slightly cropped length makes it perfect for high-waisted skirts, shorts and trousers, creating an effortlessly stylish handmade wardrobe staple.

Suitable for intermediate to confident knitters, this hand knitted summer top kit is a wonderfully satisfying make for those looking to explore beautiful textures and garment knitting.
