CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The top is worked from the bottom up. At the beginning, the Front and Back are worked separately in rows, back and forth, because there are slits at the sides. Then, the work is joined in the round and worked to the location of the armholes. Here, the work is divided once more and the Front and Back are finished separately. The shoulders are joined together and, finally, edge borders are worked around the armholes and neckline. No further adornment is necessary.
