CONSTRUCTION

The top is worked from sleeve to sleeve.
Increases are made along the shoulder and at the underarm so that the top fits nicely.
Stitches are then cast on for the Front and Back. The work is divided at the neckline – first, the Back is worked and then the Front. When the neckline is completed, the two sections are rejoined. Then, the stitches for the sides of the Front and Back are set aside and the work continues for the shoulder and underarm shaping of the second sleeve. Both edges of the Sleeves are completed with a simple edge and the side seams of the garment are joined together via a three-needle bind-off with the right sides of the Front and Back facing each other.

The total length of the top can be adjusted by adding more or fewer stitches on the Front and Back.
