Knitting pattern for Esther's Striped Summer Top
Esther's Striped Summer Top is our take on a wonderful, simple and becoming summer top with a twist. The circular design is flattering and enhances the feminine shape, which is exactly why we're so fond of designing tops with circular yokes. It features contrast-colored stripes, perhaps even in different yarns, which gives it a slightly maritime look and demonstrates our fondness for stripes. We have added extra details such as Italian cast-on and bind-off.

Procedure:
The top is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on using a provisional, crochet cast-on method, to allow adjusting the size of the neck opening later. Initially , short rows are worked across the shoulders and back of neck to make the back of the neck higher than the front. The yoke is divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
