First, the neckline is worked flat, after which the work is joined and the yoke is shaped with raglan increases. The body is shaped with slight waist shaping and finished with a decorative edge. Finally, a button band is worked along the neckline.

The Top is designed with approximately 1.5-2.5 cm 0.6-1.0 in of positive ease, based on the bust circumference at the midpoint of each size range. It is therefore recommended to choose your size based on your own bust measurement.
