Vivianna is a simple cropped top with drop
shoulders and a cinched waist. It is great
for everyday wear and goes perfectly with
a high-waisted skirt or pants. It is a quick
project, so have fun and make a couple in
your favorite colors!

Vivianna is worked from the top down, flat and
in the round. Front and back yokes are worked
separately and then connected at the underarm. The
lower body is then worked and finished with a fold
over hem. Stitches are picked up around the arm
opening, from where short sleeves with picot cuffs
emerge. Lastly, a cord is worked which goes through
two openings at the front of the hem to cinch the top
at the waist.
