Capturing the dynamic rhythm of the sea and its marvelous inhabitants, the Soft Shores Top reflects the tender touch of oceanic beauty. Front and back panels in stockinette stitch slant inward, creating a flattering silhouette that’s beautifully complimented by widening garter stitch side panels from underarm to hem. Pattern by Dora Creadora for The Fibre Co.
