ABOUT THE DESIGN
The top is worked bottom up in the round on circular needles until splitting for sleeves, whereafter the front and back are worked flat separately. The front and back meet at the shoulder and the visible shoulder seam is worked as a three-needle bind. The neckline and sleeve ribbings are picked up and knitted on a smaller needle size adding shape and structure to the top’s all-over lace pattern.
