This is my fourth test for Cristina Ghirlanda. I love her clean, classic lines and well written patterns. They fit very well too.

This is a super quick project that doesn’t require very much yarn. This simple top has a turned hem at the bottom and 4-stitch i-cord finish on the upper edges and around the neck. I used a contrasting color yarn for the 1-cord trim, but you can use just one color, if desired.

The most important thing to remember when knitting this is to be sure there’s plenty of negative ease in the bust area. If not, you won’t achieve the upside down “V” shape in front and back.
