The SMULTRON Top is knit from the top down in a Pure Silk Yarn.

The cast-on will create an invisible shoulder seam, from which the back is knit first while working increases to shape the armholes. The left and right shoulder pieces will be worked next while using increases to shape the armholes and deep round neckline.

Back and front pieces will then be joined in the round to knit the body. The hem and neckline are knit with a lace detail. The puffy sleeves are worked using increases and German Short Rows, or you can choose to simply add the lace detail around the armholes for a sleeveless top.

SMULTRON is the Swedish word for wild strawberry. These small and sweet berries are the inspiration for this top.
