The SABAI Top is a light and airy summer top with a boat neck. It is very easy to knit, requires only a few techniques, and is therefore ideal for beginners. In addition to the SABAI Top No. 1 with ribbed borders, there is also a second version knitted entirely in stockinette stitch: the SABAI Top No. 2.

The SABAI Top No. 1 is knitted seamlessly, from top to bottom. It begins with the neckline border, worked in the round in 1x1 rib, while increasing to form the sloped shoulders. For the armholes, the front and back are knitted separately in back and forth rows. The stitches of the front and back are then joined to continue knitting in the round. The bottom of the top finishes with a narrow ribbed border with a small rolled edge. As it is knitted from top to bottom, it is possible (and recommended) to try it on as you go to adjust the length to your preference.

Techniques used: left and right leaning increases, knit or purl.
