PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up. The front is separated to shape the neck, and shoulder stitches are put on hold. The front and back shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind-off. After sewing the side seams, stitches are picked up around the armholes for an I-cord edging.
This popover is intended to have an oversized fit with a 10-22” of positive ease depending on how you like your garments to fit. Consider the finished measurements to choose a size that gives you the fit you prefer, keeping in mind that larger sizes will fall lower on your arm.
