Clean and modern, this sleeveless top features reverse stockinette with small cable details. The v-neck and subtle waist shaping help it pair equally well with a skirt or jeans.

To minimize purling, the top is worked inside out in the round to the armholes. The neckband is worked right along with the upper body, so the only finishing is sewing the straps together and knitting the armhole edgings.

ERRATA
Added June 6, 2021: An update was made to correct a typo in the repeat section of the smocking pattern at the hem (it should say repeat rounds 1 through 10, not 6-10). This error has been corrected in v2 of the pattern.
