Lounging Top | Fingering by Joji Locatelli

Craft: Knitting

SWOON! We’re sure you’ll understand why we never want to take this tee off.

Lounging Top is worked from the top down in one piece. The construction starts at the shoulders, with some short rows. The back and the fronts are worked separately down to the armholes, and then everything is joined to complete the body in one piece. All you need to do is add a small neckband when you finish.
