CONSTRUCTION:
The Novatop is knitted top down. First, the straps of the back piece are knitted individually, then they are joined and increases are made to shape the armholes. Next, stitches are picked up along the straps of the back piece and the front piece is knitted the same way as the back piece. Then, the work is joined in the round and the body is knitted. Finally, the cuffs on the armholes and the neckline are knitted.
