Sunshine, stripes, and effortless style: this summer top is your go-to for warm days and cool evenings.

The garment is worked from the top down, starting by casting on stitches for shoulder straps which are worked in four separate pieces back and forth while making increases. When the increases are completed attach the front and the back to form the body and work in the round. The slimming is created around the bust. Make the bind off then the bottom is folded and hand sewn to the inside.
