DIY Kit - Boxy Lady Top
This top is knit in one piece from the bottom up. The bottom of the body is worked in the round to the armhole. It is then split to work the front and back sections flat. Once both sections are knit, the front and back are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches for the armholes are then picked up from the edge of the body and worked in the round.
