The Island Top

The Island Top is a breezy, oversized V-neck tank worked entirely top-down in one seamless piece.

Starting with a provisional cast-on at the shoulder line, the back is shaped with integrated i-cord selvedge edges that form clean, finished armholes as you knit.

Each front is picked up directly from the provisional cast-on, with the i-cord carrying seamlessly from back to front at each shoulder. Both fronts feature simultaneous shaping at the armhole and V-neck edges, creating a flattering deep V-neckline.

At the underarm, all pieces join on one needle and the body is worked flat in stockinette to the desired length, finishing with a polished i-cord bind-off at the hem.
