Black Night Top - Knitamore

Black Night Top is knitted from the top down. First, the front piece is knitted back and forth with a straight neckline and openings for armholes. Then stitches are worked up from the top of the front piece to the back piece, which is knitted in exactly the same way and joined with the front piece at the armhole.

The top is then knitted in the round straight down and finished with an icord edge. Finally, stitches are picked up in the sleeve edge and neck edge, and an icord edge is knitted here as well. The Black Night Top is assembly-free.
