Classic summer top knitting pattern with beautiful double knitted edges. The top is worked from the bottom up. The body is first worked in stockinette stitch in the round. Then the work is divided into two – front and back – and double knitted edges are established on each side. The back is divided once more, and two triangles with double knitted edges are worked. The front is worked identically to the back.
