The Noemie top is a simple summer top worked top-down. This is a 2 in 1 pattern with instructions for a fingering weight and a DK weight version.

First, stitches are cast on in the round to shape the neckline with German short rows and increases. The back and front pieces are then worked separately with armhole increases. The pieces are then joined together and worked in the round. The sleeves are knit in the round and the neckline is finished with an I-cord bind off.
