The Robin Top Kit is a considered project for makers who want a breathable, warm-weather knit sized to fit a range of bodies.
Robin is a short sleeve top designed by Rosemary Drysdale, worked in a lace rib pattern that runs in soft vertical columns down the body, with a K3, P3 rib at the hem, neckband and armhole borders for a clean, finished edge. Knitted in Eco Twist, our plant-based recycled cotton, linen and EcoVero™ viscose blend, the pattern gives the lace room to breathe while the marled texture keeps the fabric from ever looking flat.
What's Inside the Kit
- 2 to 6 x 100g balls of Eco Twist in your selected colourway (quantity depends on size)
- The Robin pattern (printed)
Not included:
- 3.75mm (US 5) circular needle, 40cm (16in) long
- Stitch holders and stitch markers
Designed for Makers Like You
Robin suits confident beginners and intermediate knitters comfortable with a repeating lace pattern and basic shoulder and neck shaping. The lace rib is a simple two-row repeat once established, and the construction is straightforward: back, front, neckband and armhole borders, with no set-in sleeves to manage.
It is especially suited to makers who love:
- Lightweight, breathable knits for warmer weather
- Simple lace patterns that build confidence without overwhelming
- A project sized properly across a range, from XS to 4XL
- Plant-based yarns with a soft, natural drape
- A wardrobe piece that layers easily under a jacket or cardigan
Spun with Purpose
Eco Twist is 45% viscose (EcoVero™), 35% recycled cotton and 20% linen, spun in Italy. The EcoVero™ process is a lower-impact way to produce viscose compared to conventional methods. You can read more about it here.
This yarn is:
- Suited to warm-weather garment work
- Made with EcoVero™ viscose, recycled cotton and linen
- Softly marled with a gentle sheen rather than bold variegation
- Breathable, with a relaxed, easy-wearing finish
- Suited to makers who want a plant-based yarn with real texture
Made to Be Made
The Robin Top Kit is a beautiful choice for:
- Makers wanting a breathable top for the warmer months
- Practising lace rib patterning without complex shaping
- A plant-based project sized from XS to 4X
- Building confidence with garment construction before a more involved piece
If you have been looking for a warm-weather knit with texture and drape rather than heaviness, Robin is your go to lace summer top pattern.
Your Next Mindful Make
Robin settles into an easy rhythm once the lace rib repeat is established, and the straightforward construction means you are knitting steadily rather than managing constant shaping. It is a strong choice for makers who want a breathable, plant-based top that will see plenty of wear once the weather turns warm.
