Workflow
The top is knit top down with mirroring front and back sections. Provisional cast on is used to create a seamless shoulder. The V-neck and armhole shaping for each shoulder can be followed on charts or written instructions. The two shoulders are then joined and worked together to finish shaping the armholes. Repeat the process for the back. Join the front and back by casting on underarm stitches and working in the round to the desired length. Finish with I-cord edging at the armholes, V-neck, and bottom edge.
