Swiss Dot Top is knitted top down, starting with the back yoke which is worked into two halves to form the slit, then joined together and knitted back and forth till the back yoke is finished. After that sts are picked up across the shoulders to form the front yoke, then the body is worked in the round. Stitches for short sleeves are then picked up across the armholes and worked in the round as well.

This top has approximately 12-16 cm of positive ease, and it’s meant to be worn oversized.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.
