Katrina's Sleeveless Shell by Kristin Omdahl is a simple sexy top knit from the top down. The design is knit in four separate pieces that are joined at the armhole opening. The horizontal and vertical stripes are deceptively easy to work in a combination of slip stitches, two-color stripes and brioche stitch. The i-cord neck closure is woven through an eyelet round at the neck edge and the extra long, beaded ties can dangle down your side or back. Wear this sexy top for a super fun night on the town.
