Clementine Top 2504-04 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Clementine Top is worked from the top down and can be knitted in either Sandnes Garn Tynn Line or Alpakka Silke.

The left front is worked first, back and forth, with increases on each side to shape the top. The right front is worked in the same way before the two fronts are joined and continued back and forth to the underarms.

The back is worked in the same manner before being joined with the front, and the body is then continued in the round. Edgings are worked across the front and back, followed by the armhole edgings and straps, which are finished with a crochet hook for a neat edge (detailed explanation with images in pattern).
