The Maris Top Kit suits makers who want a simple, wearable shape with just one area of lace detail.

Maris is a short sleeve top designed by Leanne Prouse, worked mostly in stockinette stitch with a single lace panel running down the centre front. The lace stays contained to that one panel, so the rest of the piece knits up quickly and simply. Knitted in Aquarella, our 100% recycled silk yarn, the lace panel catches the yarn's natural sheen in a way a plain stockinette piece would not.

What's Inside the Kit

2 to 4 x 100g balls of Aquarella in the colour of your choice (quantity depends on size)
The Maris pattern (printed)
A special gift, packed with care

Not included:

US 2 / 2.75mm circular needle
2 stitch holders
Ball winding service. You can purchase that separately here.

Designed for Makers Like You

Maris suits confident beginners and intermediate knitters comfortable with a repeating lace panel worked over a set number of stitches, along with basic front neck and shoulder shaping. The lace panel is worked over an 8-row repeat and stays isolated to the centre front, so you are never managing lace across the whole piece.

It is especially suited to makers who love:

A single lace panel as the entire focal point of a project
Simple stockinette knitting with one area of considered detail
Yarns with natural drape and sheen
A relatively quick knit that still delivers a polished result

Spun with Purpose

Aquarella is 100% recycled silk, sourced from production waste and processed using the Ahimsa method, which lets the silkworm complete its natural cycle.

This yarn is:

Fingering weight, suited to warm-weather garment work
Made with Ahimsa silk, allowing the silkworm to complete its natural cycle
Naturally lustrous with a gentle sheen
Breathable and lightweight against the skin
Suited to makers who want drape without heaviness

Made to Be Made

The Maris Top Kit is a beautiful choice for:

Makers wanting one lace detail without a whole-garment commitment
A breathable top for the warmer months
A relatively fast knit that still reads as a finished, polished piece
Building confidence with an isolated lace panel before a full lace garment

If you have been looking for a project where the lace does the talking and the rest of the knitting stays simple, Maris is a good one to cast on.

Your Next Mindful Make

Maris moves quickly through the stockinette sections, and the lace panel becomes second nature.

It is a strong choice for makers who want a relaxed-fit top with a beautiful lace detail."
