Notes It's coming into winter here, so I adjusted this top to be more season-appropriate, by lengthening the sleeves and adding a bottom band. I love the end result, and I don't need to wear a scarf to keep my neck warm!

This is made in a cotton lycra knit, with the front pieces cut on the bias to give a chevron effect, and the yoke pieces cut with the bottom of the yoke along a stripe for a seamless-looking seam.

    Thank you all for your kind words!
    Anne, I no longer have this top - sorry there is no photo to show you. I didn't wear it because it kept making me think of a referee's top, or the logo of Foot Locker! Every time I put it on I felt self-conscious, so I donated it to the nearest charity shop :-)

    Having struggled with stripes in my last knit dress to achieve that kind of chevron pattern, I can only applaud yours ! Would love to see it on you too now that I know that we are the same shape.

  • Jane Kokoszko

    Excellent construction, love the way you used the stripes.
