DESCRIPTION
The V-Love Top is a summery knitted top with a flattering fit. It is worked top down, starting with the upper front, adding straps and the back. It is then joined in the round at the underarm, and the body is worked including increases and decreases for waist shaping and finally split again to work side panels using short rows. The front and back gets the interesting V-shape by working increases and decreases within simple stockinette stitch while straps, sides and lower side panels are worked in garter stitch. It never get boring while not being too complicated; a perfect project for traveling.
