Ellie Halterneck Top

Ellie Backless Halterneck Top is a modern, close-fitting halterneck top with an open back. The top features a clean, simple design, making it both elegant and easy to style. The top is knitted from the bottom up. First, the body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch with a ribbed hem. The work is then divided into front and back pieces, which are knitted flat. The front piece is shaped with decreases, and finally the neckline/roll collar is worked by picking up stitches and knitting in rib.
