Today's pattern inspiration for our new Toccata organic cotton is... the Hipster Top by Joji Locatelli. This top is worked from the top down, starting with a fun crossed-stitch detail. Depending on your size you would need 1-3 skeins of each colour in Toccata. www.jojiknits.com/product-page...

Our next pattern idea for our new Toccata organic cotton yarn is the Dawning Top by Ainur Berkimbayeva @toqutigu.bsky.social. www.toqutigu.com/dawning-top The Dawning Top is a sweet halter top worked from the top down, with radiating spokes and eyelets symbolizing the sun's rays.

We think our new Toccata cotton yarn would be a great choice for a summer top or tee, so we've rounded up a few patterns to get you inspired! We'll be sharing some ideas here over the next few days, but if you're itching to get project planning you can find them all on our blog right now. #Knit 🧶
