Sleeveless top featuring a nice eyelet finish.

Ingrid top is worked from the top down. The Back is knit first. Then, the Front shoulders are picked up from the shoulder edge and worked top down as you shape the neck. Finally, Front and Back are joined together at the underarm and the body is knit seamlessly in the round to the hem. The collar is worked at the end by picking up stitches and knitting along the neck edge. All edges are finished with a folded edge.

The model in the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a Size 2.
