Sybil top

Sleeveless top with subtle and delicate design elements that give it distinction. The top is worked from the top down, with shaped shoulders for enhanced comfort and incorporating body decreases for an optimal and timeless fit. It has a regular fit. First, the back is worked flat, with some increases to shape the armholes. The front is then worked equally, but with increases to form the V-neck. Finally, the front and back are joined at the underarm, and the body is worked in the round until the hem. The collar, armholes, and body hem are all done in a regular rib for a classic and sophisticated finish.
