NOTES

  • Top is reversible with one color being dominant on front and opposite color being dominant on back.

  • Top is worked from sleeve to sleeve in two pieces and seamed.

  • To change colors, work to last yarnover of stitch in old color, pick up new color, and complete stitch with new color. Fasten off nonworking color only after a color block is complete.

  • Increases/decreases are worked on even rows for the sleeves. To modify the top length, add or subtract a multiple of 10 chains (about 1¼“) for lower body.
