The Joyride top is worked top down and back and forth
on circular needles.
The back is started at neck and worked in two colours. Colour changes are worked using the intarsia technique. After casting on stitches, increases are worked on each side to create oblique shoulders. Then the armholes are rounded with increases in different intervals.
Final the back is finished with short rows to create a rounded shape at the end.
The front is worked top down as the back, also in two colours. Stitches are picked up along the shoulders of back, and increases are worked each side of the neck before fronts are joined and then finished as the back.
The sides are seamed together with Kitchener stitches and finally all edges are finished with I-cords in the same colours as the back and front.

Embracing life, tasting all the fruits of the garden, and experiencing all the colours of the rainbow – this was the designer’s inspiration for the colour scheme of this beautiful summer top, with a cut and fit that invites you to play, move, and enjoy life to the fullest.
The top matches perfectly with What A Life shorts.
