Jeanie Wrap Top

**Notes** The Jeanie Wrap top is a top-down pattern with an integrated neckband. It begins by casting on and working the neckband. From there, stitches are picked up and knitted for the back yoke. Then stitches are picked up at each shoulder and increased to create the front yoke. Stitches are cast on under the arms to connect the back and front yoke. Increases are continued until the yoke covers the bust. Excess stitches are knitted together under the bust to join the top in the round. The midriff is worked on smaller needles to flatter the waist. Stitches are cast off using a stretchy cast off. Three sleeve options are provided, tank top, t-shirt and long sleeve. For the latter two options, stitches are picked up for the sleeve and shaped using German shorts, then worked until it reaches the desired length. **Size guide** The size is determined by your own bust measurements (the circumference of the widest part of your chest). The finish garment will have 11-15cm of negative ease for a fitted silhouette. However, feel free to size up or down to achieve your intended fit.
