Orpin

Orpin has a classic construction and is knitted from the top down. We start by knitting the back in a back-and-forth pattern, then we pick up the stitches on each of the fronts before joining them together. The body is finally assembled in a round. The body, neckline, and armholes are finished in 2x2 ribbing.
