The Melted Ice Pop Top is a drop shoulder sweater with both a long sleeve and short sleeve pattern option. Worked top down, starting with the back panel and casting on the shoulders and then the front panel to connect in the round under the arms. Sleeves are picked up and knitted top down. The edges are finished with an I-cord bind off.

There are linked video tutorials for both types of I-Cord Bindoff.
