The NAMI Top is a breezy summer project – ideal for everyone looking to knit a quick top that’s easy to combine: whether worn solo on hot days or layered casually over a blouse.
It is worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to adjust the length flexibly – perfect for individual preferences or making the most of your yarn. The design is mainly worked in knit stitches.
By the way, nami means “wave” in Japanese – a little homage to my love for Japanese culture.

Sehr schönes Resultat dank den gut erklärten Details.
Ich habe die « Dolce » von Jakob verstrickt und außer dem Abschluss vom I-Cord nichts geändert. Dort habe ich die letzten Maschen (6,5 und 4) mit den den restlichen M mit Maschenstich verbunden, so entsteht kein Knubbel.
Ich habe die Version mit einem Knäuel gestrickt und bin sehr zufrieden. Es war super zu stricken und die Anleitung sehr gut zu folgen. Hat Spaß gemacht und sieht super aus 😊
Ich habe diese tolle Weste mit der Teddy Dear gestrickt und 5,0mm Nadeln. Am Anfang ist das Garn schon gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber wenn man sich dran gewöhnt hat ist es ein super Projekt. Denn es geht einfach sehr schnell und ich wurde schon oft drauf angesprochen. Anleitung wie immer top geschrieben 😊
Die Anleitung ist so aufgebaut und beschrieben, dass auch ich, die ich schon seit vielen Jahren keine Nadeln mehr in der Hand hatte, meinen Strampler für mein 1.Enkelkind fertigstricken konnte. Der Strampler ist sehr schön geworden und ich bin superstolz, dass ich das geschafft habe. Es hat mich motiviert weiterzumachen und ich habe bereits mein nächstes Projekt auf den Nadeln
