PATTERN NOTES
This top begins with the Striped Triangle. Once this is complete short rows are worked back on forth on the other side of the garment with decreases to ‘fill in’ the other side of the top. Two sets of short rows are worked, one on top of the other. Once this is complete the remainder of the body is worked in the round to the armholes. Now the front and back are divided and worked flat until the shoulder where they are joined together using a three-needle bind-off. Sleeve caps are worked from the top down and shaped using short rows.
