The Fawn Top is a delicate fitted v-neck top with a hood. It is perfect for layering in the autumn and winter or on its own as a sporty little warm weather top.

The top is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with the back panel. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edge for the two front shoulders, which are worked separately while increasing to shape the v-neck. The front and back are shaped at the armholes before being joined to work the body in the round. The hood is added at the end.

This pattern has been tested and professionally tech-edited.
