Croisière is a classic sailor top with unique details. Its clever construction gives it a flattering cut at the shoulders, without having to pick up stitches to knit the sleeves. The shoulders are highlighted by ribbing that continues into the collar. This detail can be highlighted by the addition of decorative buttons.

Cruise is knitted from the top down, seamlessly. The presentation model is knitted with a DK weight yarn. You can also opt for a fingering weight yarn doubled with a lace weight mohair and silk yarn.
