Yarn kit for the Minou Top by Luisa Rehkopf.

The Minou Top is super delicate and feminine. It is an elegant summer top that fits incredibly well and is very comfortable. The Minou Top is knitted with half brioche and cable patterns, so it fits snugly. Since the pattern is stretchy, you should knit it with negative ease of about 3 to 13 cm.

This beautiful top has wide straps, allowing you to easily wear a bra underneath without it being visible. The asymmetrical straps are also very comfortable to wear. The pattern also includes a version with a higher back neckline.

You knit your Minou Top seamlessly from top to bottom with Classic Cashmere from Cardiff. This makes your top perfect for cooler days, very luxurious, and incredibly soft to the touch.

Enjoy spring in your Minou Top!
