Frequently Asked Questions
How are the Cumulus Top straps attached?
The i-cord edging continues into the straps, which are joined at the shoulders with Kitchener stitch. This is a useful finishing technique to check before starting.
Why does Cumulus Top begin with four separate triangles?
The triangles shape the front and back V-necks. They are then joined to work the body in the round, which finishes with a folded hem.
