Frida is a seamless, sleeveless top mostly worked in the round, from the top down.
The pattern starts by working the shoulders to the underarms, then the front and back are joined together and the body worked in one piece.
The top features a basic, relaxing stockinette stitch pattern with interesting small details, i-cord edging and a basic lace pattern for the lower body.
