Maritimes





Maritimes is a unisex and very versatile top.
Maritimes is part seven in the “Back to the Sea” collection of seamless all season garments. This collection is dedicated to Marina, who has been an inspiration behind all of these projects.
The top is entirely seamless and is knit from the top down.
I have designed this top to be unisex. Based on your color choice and options you choose, the top can be made to look more girlie or boyish.

I am providing links to all the relevant tutorials and techniques, so if you are not familiar with any of them, here is your chance to try, and succeed.
