ClaraTop is knitted from top to bottom in one piece. The top becomes wider by increasements (M1R/L) on which the back piece is knitted. Finally, add a string of any kind, either a thick string or the strings can be knitted in the same type of yarn as the body of the top. The ClaraTop is a fresh and light summer top.
