Audrey top
The Audrey top is a minimalistic sleeveless top with a classic mock neck. The Audrey top can be worn as a sleeveless top during the warmer seasons or as a vest during the winter. For a summer version I would recommend a cotton, silk, viscose or linen blend, for a warmer wintery version choose yarn with high wool content or add some mohair to the mix for a beautiful halo and a bit of luxury.
The top is knitted seamlessly top-down. The top is started at the back of the neck and worked down towards the underarm. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders for the front. The front and back are joined at the underarm and the body is then worked in the round. The neckband, hem and sleeve edgings are worked in 1x1 ribbing.
The length of the body is easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the top on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style. Note: You can easily modify the body shorter for a cropped look.
