Keep your cool all day long with this sassy top. Throw it over your swimsuit, or pull it on over a cami to go out for the afternoon or evening.
The body is worked in the round to the armholes. After dividing for the front and back, cast on stitches for both sleeves and work the front to the shoulders. Leaving the shoulder stitches live, bind off for the neck. Begin the back by picking up stitches along the front sleeve cast-ons, and work the back the same as the front. The shoulders are joined using 3-Needle Bind-Off. Short shoulder straps are added to keep the very wide neck from falling too far off your shoulders.
