The chilly top has a fitted silhouette with negative ease and shaping at the waist. it’s worked seamlessly from the top down: the front and back are knitted separately, then joined to work the body in one piece. stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are shaped with short rows for a comfortable, contoured fit.
