Miriam's summer top

Job type Test knit
Description

This top is started in the round from the collar and then shoulder saddles are seamlessly extended from it by knitting flat. Front stitches are picked up from the saddle end of rows and transferred from the collar front. The upper front is worked flat in two different stitch patterns; Daisies and Bell lace. The back is worked the same way as the front before the two are joined together under the armhole and the lower body is worked in Supple rib in the round until the end. The bottom of the body includes some simple cables to add some firmness to it.
