The Threadline Top is a cropped, boxy design that effortlessly blends structure and fluidity. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up, this two-color narrow-striped top features panels of garter stitch and broken rib creating a playful contrast in texture. Fluid shape changes are achieved through strategic increases and decreases, making the top visually dynamic while maintaining its relaxed fit. The hem uses a half-twisted rib and neat edges at the neckline and armholes are created with an I-Cord Bind-Off, making this top as polished as it is fun to knit.

Designed for The Fibre Co.’s Meadow , a beautiful blend of Merino wool, baby llama, silk, and linen, the Threadline Top offers a rustic yet refined look. Fabrics in Meadow provide the perfect lightweight, breathable garment with just the right amount of drape. Whether you layer your Threadline Top over a blouse or wear it on its own, this top will quickly become one of your favorites.
