Description from Interweave Knits

Annie Modesitt adds telling details to this fitted top with cap sleeves and mandarin collar. The body is worked as one piece to the armholes, then the back and fronts are worked separately. Curve-hugging ribbing makes a strong vertical impression, while I-cord ties add a funky touch to the classic style. Annie’s signature double-knit slipped-stitch edging makes an uncluttered finish along the front opening.
