UNi Top

*For a sleeveless top I like some positive ease in the right places and covered bra straps! So here we go ... :)* Uni Top is worked seamlessly from the top down. The upper front is shaped with short rows before you increase for the full bust. Then you continue to work the body to the bottom. After the body is completed, the strap sts are picked up to work the straps to the final length. <hr> Do you need knitting support for this pattern?
