Ecological Top Tank

This is a summer top tank with an uncommon, asymmetric contruction. The pattern starts by working the right shoulder, down to the underarm. The body is worked seamlessly in one piece from the top down, then the left shoulder and the cowl are picked up and shaped with short rows from the bottom up. The pattern features relaxing stocking stitch with tiny lace details on the sides and almost no finishing! Knit it at a loose gauge with an inelastic yarn as cotton, linen or silk for a drapey look!
