This loose-fitting, striped linen top is knit top-down in garter stitch with unusual shoulder shaping to create a chevron pattern along the top of the shoulder, and slipped stitches to create decorative false seams. The neckline and sleeves have a rolled stocking stitch border and the body is finished with a folded hem.
