Kelso Top is a simple, elegant design with a ribbed detail
down each side of the body and clean rolled edging. Subtle
shaping through well-placed increases and decreases elevate the drape and fit on the upper portion of the top.

First, the back is knitted back and forth with increases to
shape the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up along the
back to form each shoulder whilst shaping the neck. The fronts and back are joined, and stitches cast on for the
underarms. The body is then knit in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes and neck edge and worked in stockinette stitch.
