Top Harper (S03/01)
Designed by LAMANA

The top is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, then front and back are each worked separately back and forth. Remarkable details are the accentuated decreases, the slightly curled edges at the armholes and neckline, the cable crossing at the tip of the V-neck on front and back and the twist in the shoulder straps of front. The shoulder straps are joined together using the 3-needle-BO method, or alternatively, they can be grafted together using the kitchener stitch.
