Good to know
The top is knitted from bottom to top in a circle. The top is divided up under the armpits for front and back side, and after that the style is knitted from right and wrong side. Both front and back side are divided to make for the keyhole in the back, and the details in the shoulder on the front side. The sides are connected by the shoulder with mattress stitch. Neckline and rib for the armpits are knitted in a circle after the top has been connected by the shoulders.
Yarn quantity required is based on an average , and is therefore an approximate number. The top can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Fine organic merino.
