Light, elegant and beautifully constructed, the Cloud Top is a top-down knit that rewards careful technique with a polished, wearable result. Worked flat at the yoke with short rows to shape the shoulders, then joined and knitted in the round for the body — this is a pattern that teaches as it goes, making it a satisfying project for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike.
A neat stockinette stitch edge is picked up and worked along the neck and armholes for a clean, professional finish. As always, knit a tension swatch before you begin.
