SAKURA is a seamless top down knit. The Stranded knitting part refers to growing cherry blossoms and each branch ends with a knitted bobble.
You will use German short rows to create a perfect fit for the neckline. And from there on you can enjoy a simple knitting journey in Stockinette Stitch.
This summer top can also be knit with long sleeves for a full sweater version.
