to k 44 st then c/o 64 then k 44)

Finished top before sewing together.

Sew up side and sleeve seams and then add straps about 10 cm in on either side of

neck opening, I crochet a 3 strings of single crochet across the shoulder. Then I

single crochet some ties to use to gather the side seams. These embellishments

are optional. It would like nice with a wide belt as well.
