Water Shell Top
This design is a top-down pattern worked flat for the back and front panels separately, then joined and worked in the round for the body. The shoulder straps are made separately after the main piece is completed, then attached to the garment. You may modify the straps according to your preference, but this pattern includes instructions for making the straps with beads.
