MODE at Rowan Anker Cotton DK 8 Ply Sleeveless Top Knitting Pattern – MIP45
Create a fresh and beautifully wearable summer top with the Anker knitting pattern from MODE at Rowan. Designed by Quail Studio, Anker combines a clean sleeveless silhouette with delicate decorative edging at the neckline, armholes and hem.
Anker is knitted primarily in classic stocking stitch, giving the top a smooth, modern finish and making it easy to style with skirts, trousers or shorts. The refined edging adds subtle handcrafted detail without overwhelming the simple silhouette.
Knitted in breathable MODE at Rowan Cotton DK 8 Ply , Anker is lightweight, comfortable and ideal for warm-weather wear or layering beneath a cardigan or jacket.
Please note: This listing is for the Anker knitting pattern only. Yarn, knitting needles and accessories are sold separately.
