Laurus Top

Laurus top is a circular yoke that is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neck is worked first, after that, several series of short rows are used for a comfortable and beautifully shaped finish.

The yoke is shaped with increases that are evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the upper body.

Sleeves are then placed on hold and the body is worked toward the hem.

The sleeve stitches are then placed on the needles again and the stitches are bound off using an i-cord cast-off technique (for the short-sleeve version). Or the sleeve stitches are worked toward the cuffs, making some decreases only in the last round, followed by an i-cord cast-off (for sleeve length).
