Noelle sleeveless turtleneck - English pattern

Noelle Sleeveless Turtleneck Top is a fitted, sleeveless knitted top with a soft high turtleneck. The design features clean lines, simple shaping, and a modern silhouette that sits comfortably with negative ease.

The top is knitted from the bottom up, starting in stockinette stitch in the round with bust increases, then the work is divided into front and back pieces, which are knitted flat. The front and back are shaped with decreases before the neck is joined by picking up extra stitches and forming a simple turtleneck using German short rows.
