Job type Test knit
Description

This is a bottom-up summer raglan top with fairly deep armholes and butterfly-style sleeves. It is started in the round and after splitting for armholes the front and back are worked flat. They are joined together in a ribbed collar. Sleeves are added by picking up stitches and working short-rows. The top can be worn with the V either facing front or back.
