Asy Top - An Elevated Basic

This pattern is initially knitted in the round, and then worked from the front and back. It has a bottom-up construction. You start by knitting the hem, then work through the body until you reach the underarm shaping. The front and back are then knitted separately. Short rows are worked on both straps and the back. Finally, the back and front are joined using the Kitchener stitch.
