Light and elegant top that can become your favorite in an instant. Fun to knit and very comfortable to wear this top is made in the round from the bottom up. Beautiful tuck stitch pattern forms diamonds on the background of reversed Stockinette. Diamonds are modified to become smaller as they go up the yoke. It is done to confirm the flattering silhouette of this lovely sweater. The shaping of the waist is placed on each side of the side tuck stitch pattern that makes an illusion of front and back being done separately. The sleeves are worked in the round to the underarm with tuck diamonds running through the center. Later the sleeves and body are joined for the yoke construction. All decreases of the yoke are done in a way to preserve the established stitch pattern.

Pattern includes a link to the video tutorial.
