LOVEBIRD

This top is worked from the top down. This allows you to adjust the length to suit your exact preferences.

The top is knitted with two skeins. The body is worked with Color B. The edges are worked with Color A. Color B is intended for assigned pooling and therefore includes a color change.

Color A is without the color-change section. We use this to achieve a difference between the body and the edges.

The neckline and shoulder straps are worked as stockinette "bands," which are folded double and sewn onto the WS of the top.
