SYLVIE'S SUMMER TOP MINI

Sylvie's Summer Top Junior is worked from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First, the front and back of the yoke are worked separately with raglan increases. Then they are picked up onto a circular needle and the body is knitted in the round. The top is finished with a knitted i-cord edge. The straps are also worked in i-cord. An option for extending the straps is included, allowing for a bow to be tied on the shoulders.
