Chloe sleeveless turtleneck - English pattern

Chloe sleeveless turtleneck top is a fitted, sleeveless knitted top with a simple and timeless expression. The design features clean lines and subtle shaping at the bust and neckline, creating an elegant silhouette and making the top easy to style.

The top is worked from the bottom up, first in the round on circular needles and then back and forth when the work is divided into front and back sections. The shoulders are joined again at the neckline, which is finished with a roll neck in twisted rib.
