A Knitter's top
A Knitters Top is a lovely summer top that can be worn even on very hot days.
The top has beautiful details consisting of both horizontal stitches and twisted rib.
It is knitted from the top down so you can easily adjust the length on the body if you want it longer.

Workflow
The top is knitted from the top down. First, the top front piece is knitted back and forth, then the top back piece. They are joined together on circular needles and the body is knitted in the round.
All bodies are different and if you have a short or long torso, the length of the top can easily be shortened or lengthened by knitting a few fewer or more centimeters on the body. Remember that it may require a little more yarn to knit it longer on some of the sizes.
