Gloed
The Gloed top is a classic summer top with a V both in the front and the back. The back V has a slightly lower cut which gives it that bit extra. It’s worked from the top down with a provisional cast-on. It has I-cord eges and an I-cord bind-off. The live stitches of the provisional cast on are picked up to work the I-cord straps to the desired length. Because you’re working from the top down, the length can easily be adjusted while working the body and the straps. The straps of sizes 10-18 are a little bit wider to offer more support.
