Instructions Petite Knit- Cumulus Top

The Cumulus Top is worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, four triangles are worked. These are then joined on a circular needle to form the body. The body is worked in stockinette stitch and finished with a folded hem. Finally, I-cord edges are worked along the upper edges. These continue into the straps, which are then grafted together using Kitchener stitch.
