Yarn kit for the Tikva Top by Lydia Rhabarber.

The Tikva Top is light and airy and comfortable to wear. It is knitted with a charming waffle pattern, creating a beautiful texture.

The neckline is rather high, making it bra-friendly, also thanks to the wide straps. We have included enough yarn for the regular length in the yarn kit. You can also optionally knit the top in a cropped length.

You knit your Tikva Top seamlessly from the top down in a waffle pattern, and in the round from the armholes downward. It is knitted with Bio Balance by BC Garn held double, making it super fine and lightweight. The blend of wool and cotton is very comfortable to wear, even against the skin.

Enjoy the summer in your Tikva Top!
