Kurruf Top: knitting pattern for a lace summer top

The Kurruf Top knitting pattern is a fresh and lightweight design to knit your own lace summer top. Inspired by the movement of the wind, this top combines lightness, texture, and an original construction that makes the knitting process especially enjoyable.

In Mapudungun, the Indigenous Chilean language, Kurruf means breeze. The design draws on that sense of movement: the lace motifs travel across the garment creating soft lines that suggest the rhythm and fluidity of the wind.

The Kurruf Top begins with i-cord edged straps, which are joined to a horizontal lace border on the front. Stitches are then picked up to shape the garment, and the body is worked in the round to the desired length. The result is a lightweight, elegant summer top that is both engaging to knit and easy to wear.
