Midsummer Harvest is worked from the top down starting with the back straps. Additional stitches are cast on to create the chest, and increases are worked at the outside edges to shape the underarm. The front is worked in the same fashion and the two pieces are joined together. Rows are worked back and forth to the bottom, connecting at the end of each row at the right underarm using an intarsia End of Row join. Optional bust darts can be added (see sizing information). This top is seamless and will fly off your needles!
