Dahlia is knit bottom up in the round to the underarm where the front and back sections are divided and worked flat. Decreases are worked to create a halter neck effect and a subtle double piping. The neckline is then worked to put a gorgeous finishing touch to a beautiful top. I hope you enjoy working on this project and rocking the top - I do on both counts!
