This top is knitted flat from the bottom up. The body is worked up to the shoulder contours, which have a slope using short rows. The sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up incorporating bold colourful stripes. The tie cord is made using an I-cord maker, or can be made using the twisted braid method.
