Grimstad Top

When I got the inspiration for this pattern I envisioned wearing it while walking alongside the ocean in a coastal town. As most of my patterns are, this top is named after a place I want to visit, a town in Norway.

The Grimstad top is a light and breezy t-shirt style knitted top. Worked from the bottom up, with a slight cropped style and v-neck front. Wide sleeves add that extra cozy element to this top.
