Pullover shell worked sideways and seamed at the sides. Worked almost entirely in garter stitch, this is a great project for semi-mindless TV knitting. A narrow star stitch center front panel, scoop neck, and naturally occurring cap sleeves help to pretty up a very basic design.

Make sure to use worsted, not bulky weight yarn, as this top is meant to have a very loose gauge to encourage great draping.
