Lima Top is a light summer top featuring a simple graphic two-colored pattern. The top is worked from the bottom up, both in the round and back and forth, using 1 strand of either Cotton Merino, Merino or Pure Silk in two different colorways.

You start working the body in the round up to the underarms. Here, work is divided into front and back, and each piece is then shaped and finished separately while working back and forth. Stitches are picked up around the neckline and both armholes before the edges are finished with an i-cord bind-off. The colorwork pattern is charted only.
