You will always be the center of attention in this top with an intricate yet elegant round yoke. A combination of strict geometric lines with a soft color fade makes this little clothing item fresh and attractive. You can also make this project with long sleeves, as it is worked seamlessly from the top down.

Pattern notes
This top is designed to fit with 5–10cm/2–4in of positive ease at the bust. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the yoke is worked in rounds to sleeve separation, then the lower body is worked in rounds to the bottom, followed by the sleeves worked top down. The length of both the body and the sleeves is easily adjustable.

For sizes L, XL, 2X and 3X use both Whirl cakes at the same time, alternating them after every 2 rounds for a continuous gradual color change. The color is changed in the ch1 at the beginning of the round, floats of yarn should stay on WS.
