Knitting Pattern | LIV Top

Liv is a fitted summer top that is knitted in the round from the bottom up. It has a cropped length that ends on your waist. However, the length can be adjusted to your personal needs.
After working the body length, stitches are bound off and the cups are knitted. They are then each finished off with an I-Cord strap.
Finally the waistband is knitted separately to the body and first sewn together to create the knot in the front. Finally it is attached to the body using the mattress stitch.
