Knitted from the top down all you will have to do when you are finished is weave in the ends and block. Couldn’t be simpler! I used an interesting variation on the 3-needle bind off to creating the cross-over below the bust line, instead of binding off front and back stitches are just knit together. This leaves you with no sewing together to do at the end of the project.
