Isadora is a short-sleeve top worked from the bottom up. It fits loose across the bust and is more fitted across the stomach and hips. The ribbed bottom edge is knit flat in two pieces and then joined to work in the round before splitting again for the bust and sleeves. As knitting progresses from bottom ribbing to underarms regularly placed increases widen the garment allowing the piece to drop down the arm forming short sleeves. A simple edging is worked along the sleeves which means no extra finishing once you’re done knitting! The upper neckline is finished without shaping to give Isadora a boatneck with a gentle curl.

Isadora uses fingering weight yarn knit at a larger gauge than recommended to form a semi sheer fabric. Wear this top over a camisole and jeans for a casual night out.
