SKILLS USED: I-cord Cast-on, I-cord Bind-off, Provisional Crochet Cast-on, Simple lace, Grafting, Seaming.

CONSTRUCTION:
This garment is worked flat from the bottom front, splitting for the V-neck. Each side of the neck is worked separately. After casting-on sts for the back of neck, the motif is mirrored, working decreases in a triangle, and then worked down to bottom of the back.

The I-cord edges are seamed to create a custom split hem length, and underarm length/arm opening length. This construction also makes the top reversible!

This pattern was technically edited and test knit.
