With eyelet lace reminiscent of a meadow of blooming wildflowers, Antonella is a beautiful piece for the warm weather. The drop-shoulder top, with its flattering split v-neck and slightly flared silhouette, promises both comfort and style. Antonella is knitted seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to try it on and check as you go to ensure you’re on the right track. The upper back is worked first, with short-rows to shape the shoulders. Each upper front is then picked up from the back, shaped and joined to form the split v-neck. The front and back are joined at the underarms to work in the round. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and knitted in the round.
