Anker's Summer Shirt Kit

Why you'll love it

Knit the classic Anker’s Summer Shirt by PetiteKnits a beautifully simple top-down design featuring a circular yoke with subtle rib detail.

This is one of our most popular kits, with people making it in several different colours! It's on display in store - you are very welcome to come and try it on.

Anker’s Summer Shirt is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round, it is a great choice if you have never tried top-down knitting before. With no finishing other than weaving in ends, it is as straightforward to make as it is to wear.

Our yarn kit uses Fibra Natura Papyrus, a luxurious silk–cotton blend with a delicate texture, a soft drape and a gentle sheen. It feels cool and comfortable against the skin, making it perfect for warm-weather wear. We have selected a range of popular colours, but you can explore the full shade card if you want even more choice.

Suggested ease: 0-5cm larger than your full bust measurement.

You will love knitting this versatile summer top, and the combination of Papyrus yarn and PetiteKnit’s elegant design will make it a staple in your wardrobe.
