The front and back of this top are worked in separate pieces from the bottom-up, with both panels including shaping for the armholes and the front panel featuring additional shaping for the neckline. After the front and back panels are knit, they are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up from the neckline and a ribbed neckband is worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up for the ribbed armholes and are worked in the round before seaming the sides of the body panels. Fringe is then optionally added to the bottom of the garment.
