Seasalt Top

This top is created using the Hexi-style. Starting with one panel, you will work in the round from the armpit, radiating outwards to form one arm and one side of the body. Next, you will create the sleeve by closing the top of your panel. You can then add more rounds to increase the width and height of the body, without making the sleeves any wider or longer.

Repeat this process for the second panel and finally, you will join both panels at the centre front and back to form the neckline opening.

Once you understand how the construction works, you can easily adjust the length of the sleeves and the top by adding extra loops (for longer sleeves or body) or reducing the number of loops (for shorter sleeves or body) to the starting chain (always add or subtract the multiple of 2 for the pattern to work).

You can also make this top into an open cardigan.
