Y-Top - Knitting Kit
Designed by Pernille Larsen (Knitting for Olive)
Y-top is a fitted summer tank, with a deep V neckline and straight back, knit in a ribbed stitch pattern that creates a stretchy fabric with design accents. Y-top is worked bottom up and in the round up to the underarms, then is divided for front and back. Back stitches are placed on hold, and each front is worked separately back and forth. An I-cord edging finishes the back.
Y-top is designed with a negative ease of approx. 5 - 13 cm [1¾ - 4½]", and is size inclusive.
