Devon Top

About the Devon Top

This is a ribbed top with a tight fit around the bust and waist, including button details on the side and sleeves. The Devon Top is worked top down in 2x2 rib, utilizing raglan increases. Once the length reaches under your bust, the work is split under one armpit, where you will begin to work flat, adding buttonholes periodically as you move down. After casting off the bottom, you will pick up the sleeve stitches and knit to your desired sleeve length.
