Milly Top 2504-05 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Milly Top is worked from the top down in Sandnes Garn Tynn Line.

The back is worked first, back and forth, using short rows to shape the sloping shoulders, and is continued to the underarms. Stitches are then picked up at each shoulder for the left and right fronts, with stitches cast on between them to form the neckline. The front is continued to the underarms before being joined with the back.

The body is then worked to the desired length. Stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves, which are worked in the round. A larger needle is used towards the lower edge of the sleeves to create a little extra width. Finally, the neckband is worked.
