Novemberknits - Montpellier Top - Paper
Montpellier Top is a summer top that is knitted from the top down. First the back piece is knitted, before picking up stitches to form the shoulder and neck cutout. Edge stitches are knitted in rib on each side. Gradually, the stitches from the front and back piece are gathered, and the body is knitted in the round in stocking stitch while continuing the rib structure. The body is finished with rib, and finally stitches are picked up for the neck, which is knitted in rib. See recommended help videos at www.novemberknits.com.
