PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit seamlessly from the bottom up starting with a crochet provisional cast-on. The front and back are separated at the armholes and worked separately. The back incorporates shaping to create a low u shape while the front incorporates neck shaping. After the back and front are worked, the shoulders are seamed together. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. Stitches are then picked up around the neck and back opening to work a shell rib with a picot bind-off. The hem is worked at the end from the crochet provisional cast-on stitches.
